Working in an airport gift shop, standing in line for free cheese, sharing a bowl of soup for dinner... these are the all-too-typical coping strategies adopted by the working poor among the contingent faculty who are now the overwhelming majority of the professoriate. In part 2 of our interview, Cary Nelson discusses the abjection of the professoriate and the role of the AAUP in pushing back against the callous, systematic exploitation of students and faculty by university management.

And don't think you are giving your kids a better education with a private education--those teachers are paid LESS than public educators. You are buying nothing more than designer jeans in an education form. You will get a better job because getting jobs are about who you know, but you are no smarter than a public educated person
The great thing about having a masters in education is that no matter what job you go into other than education--you will make more money. I thought "Why should I help little Johny become a millionaire, when i can do it for myself?" Screw the public education system, I will not join it until there is real REVOLUTION in the system--not just change, we need educational revolution. The highest paid proffession in Japan is a Teacher. America values widgets higher than education.
Let me ask. What do people get paid in? Paper Currency.
Interesting that not many people know that the US Federal Reserve is a private company who prints as much money as they want. It's all just numbers in a computer to them.
Notice how congress actually got upset during these "bailouts" for the first time in 70 years, they openly stated that the Fed Reserve chairmen are not complying with any demands of congress or US government.
Those who print your currency control it, and you.
The U.S. economy is largely a service industry economy. That's why a lot of young people are foregoing college altogether. I'm not sure why people with advanced degrees and no other job skills think they're immune to that. I want to go back to school to finish a liberal arts degree, but want to at least minor in business so I'll have something useful to fall back on. I've spent my whole working life in some type of 'service industry', never been eligible for food stamps.
probably, the circumstances in Japan are worse than that of the U. S. I am a part-time teacher at several colleges in the suburbs of Tokyo. I cannot make my living by teaching. What is Ph. D degree for?
I'm sorry to say, but if you expected you were getting a decent faculty job after you got a PhD degree, I think you're a bit naive. We all know how Japan treats them badly, and only a small fraction of PhDs can actually get an okay position here. Others have to keep struggling for a long time until one day finally they're getting a chance. This is sad and I certainly don't like it, but it's what it is for now. Good luck.
a lot of my professors complain about their low wadges and nobody treats them with any less respect. One of my professors would even bring in his old clothes for the students to dig through if they wanted them. He was very open about it and most of us were in the same position of needed and getting hand outs.
It's so depressing that they have a master's degrees yet they get paid as much as a manager at a gas station.
When i graduate I'll be a H.S art teacher. Looking forward to all this crap
