HAPPY NATIONAL ADJUNCT WALKOUT DAY

yes, this is what happens to people who finish their phds.

i know it well.

the system described there is actually false though-- you're either tenure track or adjunct for life from the outset. i mean this happens before you even finish your dissertation.

credentials are acquired much earlier in the humanities. in the sciences as well-- it's publish or perish from the outset. plus scholarships plus grants plus plus plus.

i realized that too late, should ahve stopped at the MA but got greedy and overshot. just like playing blackjack.

eh, you never know what is enough until you know what is more that enough.

at least the casino has free drinks.
