[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Would you advice young people to aspire to be university professors...or is everyone an adjunct these days?[/quote] (OP here): The path is continually more treacherous, and there are ever fewer tenure line positions. My field's job postings, when I came out, would have a couple hundred postings, and half or more were tenure line. Now it's maybe 1/4 tenure line. It's depressing how the bottom has fallen out of academic teaching/research. [/quote] Why is the bottom falling in every profession I read about? Everyone seems to work much more than a decade ago to make the same money. Tech and finance might be the exception. [/quote] (OP here): I'm a humanities prof. My answer to this would involve the pathology of the will and bankrupt social and political orders. Few would find those answers helpful or illuminating. Ask an economist?[/quote]
