I've just gotten a tenure-track job and I'm struggling to catch up on my bills because I got so behind when I was an adjunct.

PhD = pretty horrible deal

I got a PhD in Biochemistry and published 6 papers during my PhD and still no decent job, so guess what, I went to med school and had to postpone my life another 10 years.

Please tell the world to avoid higher education in the form of PhDs or Master's - it is actually dangerous for your future - for example I have to consider staying childless since I have no time with med school and being older I get tired more easily. Again please do not do a PhD

[MasSergioVEVO]

@sergioapuzzo sir we have the same name lmfao but i did goto college and it has not helped me what so ever... i went for business administration i attended but never has that helped me get anything in life... even mentioning it in a resume doesn't bring me more credibility for jack. It's not worth it :/ I worked w/ a guy who went for Network Administration(a job i wanted but BA was more in demmand i thaught so i stuided that) and he ended up becoming a security officer on min wage fuck college:|

[MasSergioVEVO]

@sergioapuzzo its all about technical schools not colleges... becoming a RN(registered nurse) an a/c repairman and stuff like that... this college shit is a waste. nobody even considers it in my resumes they just want positions filled they don't care as long as a body is present in x poisition and nobody complains is what matters to employers now. im glad i dropped out. My mother has tons of debts from college. govt is taking money frm her check and no she didnt become what she studied for. -.-

[perfectbark]

Marist College pays part-time faculty that comprise over 70% of the total faculty $2400 per course and you are allowed to teach a maximum of 5 courses per year. Pitiful greed.

[MackinacIs]

I worked for a college for a number of years as an instructor, and I can tell you that she's telling the truth. This has been going on for a long time.

I moved to industry, which pays more, but in many places turn-over is very high.

[tom11zz884]

She needs to be thankful she even has a job..in this economy

[smrndoff]

If academics feel exploited, just think how farm labourers and factory workers and building site labourers feel. They get talked to like shit, paid a pittance, sacked on a whim and work like dogs for the privilege. They endure little short of slavery. In fact it is... wage slavery.

[smrndoff]

There are two kinds of work in this world. The kind you continue to do even when you become rich and successful...and the real kind.

[shananagans5]

That is the way it goes if you graduate with something that really has little demand or if you want to teach at that level. You don't automatically get paid just because you get your masters or doctorate. If there is no market there is no pay. I am a forensic psych. Not many people do that and there is demand. I had an unpaid internship but did very well after that outside of the school setting. You must look at your marketability before you spend 10 yrs and thousands getting a degree.

[DrBakshandeh]

The way the youth are being treated these days is vomit-enducing.

[susanbunch1980]

Wow, great video! You should enter your video into this contest, Ewisdomtv

[anikinippon]

Wow, eyeopening, thanks for the post : )

[engineerjatt]

College teaching is a humilating and pathetic career...

[flukes777]

You want a pathetic career? Try being an encyclopedia salesman.

[senjahcore]

Yes and no. I teach at the college level, I'm 28 years old and make about $80k per year. But I feel like it is still humiliating and pathetic. Whatever. Who really cares? I think we can all agree this girl should stop bitching and marry up

[WarrenAch]

Yea,you're so right,this girl is the epitome is life failing and she wants to bring everyonewith her.

[theguysontheweb]

Everyone is going through tough times. Me, im giving away free coffee on the side of road to Kennedy Space Center CNN, Fox New, and Florida Today has dropped by.

Just creative ideas to get resumes out. Thinking out of the box, check it out.

Best wishes.

[Thereminator101]

And American taxpayers "forget" that teachers Unions are abusive monopolys,posing as egalitarian ideology,and frought with protectionist behaviorisms that do little to benifit anyone involved...most of all,the Students.

[morlenheim]

Academic universities depend on intake of college tuition to turn a profit. This profit is finally being reduced by lower student admissions.

As full time faculty is valued more, due to "investment" made by the college, part time faculty will continue to suffer doing the "dirty work".

Why does anyone believe still that universities are not a business? Not-for-profit?

Only in a business model could I find myself making 120,000 a year (206 work days).

[genefury]

i have a ba in business and i'm currently unemployed i thought when i got out of college i would be set, but after 9/11...well you know the rest

[Rosetteismyname]

thanks to University of Phoenix in part for making education a business...

there is also corporations that want to hire new grads ranging from 12 - 13 bucks an hour whether they have experience or not

[437thx1138]

Sad but true story nationwide. A billion a day in Iraq and here it's no child left behind. What a joke.

[NoFreeSpeechonYT]

When you choose academia as your profession, you should know what you're getting into. It's a political nightmare full of inflated egos and cronyism. If you're not one of the "good old girl" network, you're nothing. Hard work doesn't necessarily mean success.

[milkgodnl]

(1) Our Teachers Unions must press for low part-time to full-time faculty ratios as a condition for regional accreditation. .. (2) When I earned my M.S. in Computer Science, my starting salary in industry was higher that my Chair's. .. (3) Deans are the first to notice if youv'e been published in a prestigious journal -- if you had any trouble with them before, you wouldn't now. (4) I bring my own markers to class and take them when I leave, and supply absolutely **nothing** to my students.

[Jitpring]

Are we working under the assumption that there is fairness in this world? Friends, this is a ruthless world. Such are the fruits of the fall.

[xgz773]

OK, suppose your stipend were to be increased. Where would that money come from? It might be taken from and thus decrease the million dollar salary bestowed on the football coach. Would you want to be responsible for THAT?!?

[centralnyguy37]

Right on xgz !! We coulnd have that now could we ? lol

[crow24179]

Face it, folks. If you don't see how "employment" has become "exploitation," you're among those determined to repeat the echoes of a work ethic that's dead, buried, and forgotten in the real world. You're still worshipping at the feet of mere institutions and expect people to sacrifice their souls on the altar of greed, conveniently called "capitalism," of course. What this lady is talking about is true not only in academia but the rest of the "real world" of working, as well.

[centralnyguy37]

Crow.. I couldnt agree with your statement more. All though I don't attribute this slave labor to Capitalism as you have put it. But rather to pure greed. Companies and institutions are lining their greedy pockets with cash at the expense of those who do the real work. I also would most deffinitely agree with your statement as to this problem not being found in academia alone . All These greedy executives are interested in doing is rewarding their share holders with dividend increases .

[kylekip]

She is smoking hott!

[butterzbread]

Renisance lit, how often is that used? Why not a doctorate in underwater basket weaving? Just because you enjoy your degree, doesn't mean it's worth anything. And law degrees, come on, America has to many people that like to talk and not enough that act. Get a degree that requires a real challenge, engineering, and then double major in your arts and philosphy. At least then you can have a foothold in objective reality.

[raskolnikov1865]

The "engineer" has managed to miss the entire point of the argument. First, the humanities are an important element of a well-rounded, university education; without a humanities department, a college is little more than a technical school. Second, English degrees are useful: Ms. Jacobe has over 100 students and most of them are probably business or engineering students who still, despite their brilliance, can't figure out when to use "too" instead of "to."

[Nullifidian]

If engineering gives one a "foothold in objective reality", then why is it that whenever I encounter a creationist or intelligent design proponent who claims to have a "science degree", that degree is almost invariably in engineering?

[centralnyguy37]

Degree or no degree, Kent Hovind not having what most evolutionist refer as " A valid Phd. " Did not stop Mr.. Hovind from spanking most of the liberal professors he engaged in debates with .

[Nullifidian]

Yes, it's easy to "spank" professors if you're willing to lie freely in the middle of a debate (and afterwards about the outcome) and ignore refutations. The training of professors doesn't extend to parrying the rhetorical tricks of a con man in verbal debates.

[centralnyguy37]

If Kent Hovind was such a liar, Then why not point out the lies as opposed to launching ad hominem attacks ? All the liberals he debated were good for rebutting with were things such as " Oh he's in jail or has fake Phd". Also I would suggest you take a look at the debate on You Tube between John Lenox and Richard Dawkins . John Lenox holding three doctorate degrees could hardly be considered an unintelligent or uneducated man as you have eluded to creation being in your previous statement .

[Nullifidian]

People have pointed out Hovind's lies at length and in depth. It doesn't seem to have made the slightest difference to his defenders like yourself. Furthermore, nobody but high school debate teams cares about "ad hominem attacks". Pointing out that Hovind has a Ph.D. from a diploma mill and is currently in prison for tax evasion lets us know that we're dealing with a con man. Though it has no fancy Latin name, buying the lies of con men is a far larger source of avoidable error in the world.

[Nullifidian]

Furthermore, John Lennox does *not* have three doctoral degrees. Lennox is a *real* academic and therefore doesn't need to rely on rattling off degrees to establish his intellectual legitimacy in the way that your creationist heroes do.

Nor is John Lennox a creationist, except in the sense that any Christian believes in God as the Creator, which would also make many evolutionary biologists like Theodosius Dobzhansky 'creationists'. So what would be the point of watching the debate with Dawkins?

[NoFreeSpeechonYT]

If you believe what Kent Hovind says then I have a bridge I'd like to sell you. He's in prison for lying and stealing from idiots just like you. And 60K a year isn't big money, especially in NY. You're a peon for that kind of money. Hell, you could make 150K a year driving a taxi! So go back to cleaning that office and quit bothering people with your creationist nonsense.

[centralnyguy37]

Your a prime example of why profiling needs to be stopped in this world. I'm in upstate NY dip shit. Not NY City. Try to use your head. 60k is good money up here. Just the fact that you assumed I was from NY city when there are in fact 10 million other New Yorkers in upstate is is a very good indication your brain washed and pay to much attention to the media. Educate yourself with facts. Not with liberal TV media garbage.

[NoFreeSpeechonYT]

Who gives a fuck buddy? NY, New York city, who cares? The fact you think 60K a year is good money is laughable no matter where you live! You couldn't even buy a house on that kind of money! LOL! And anyone who defends Kent Hovind is a fucking retard. Brainwashed is believing in religion and Kent Hovind you sorry fuck.

[centralnyguy37]

If you didn't have your head up your ass you would know that my posting response to another dip shit like your self on this video was making that exact point. That 60K a years isn't good money. I would post the individuals comment below I was responding to so you could see how ignorant you are. But apparently the owner of this video did not like the comment I was responding to and had it removed. I went to your channel by the way and saw your pic. Your as a dumb as you look.

[CalifbeachCowboy]

Nofreespeech is just another pathetic internet tough guy.

[renataid]

Quite outrageous. Especially when you think how much debt most of us go into to go to university. Where does all that money go? Thank you for your courage in telling this story and putting your face behind it. Why isn't this issue on CNN and mainstream media when everyone pretends they care about the quality of education and jobs environment?

[pharmacyiii]

Work on getting 2 or maybe 3 Ph.D and you will land a good job making $60,000 or $70,000 a year.

[retius]

That's not how it works, dude.

[centralnyguy37]

Pharmacy, I hope your being sarcastic. I dropped out of high school and made 60 k a yr.

You call that good money ? I assume your being sarcastic.
