Anyhow just saw a full time ntt job for a Lecturer with a salary of $36,300 a year advertised.
I made 38,000 as a first year public high school teacher in 2005.
But please everyone remember that professors are far removed from the concerns of the working class.

By which I mean you are worth more
Suffer. This is an effort to create a serfdom. After all, it was the serfs who elevated them . Monarchy.
I made then, and continue now, to make more working in a bar 4 days a week.
In my field (pharma), I make 6 figures at 44 with a BS. If I had a PhD I'd be making about 50-60k more.
If I was an academic with a PhD I'd be making 85k, if that.
Why would anyone do that?
My ex is has a PhD in astrophysics, and he was so unsettling underpaid.
And that would still be true if I were not ridiculously fortunate to have the job I do. It beat the odds.
Good to know, had I gone the academic lit route instead, I'd end up pretty much in the same place lol
and be conscious. Horrifying. Nearly killed me
Dont go there
I have been on lockdown in a room full of terrified students while an armed man went through campus so with all due respect you do not come here
I had an uncle who was shot in the head working at a gas station. The thing is that he had to work at a gas station because as a High School graduate he could get no other job then the night shift at a gas station.
A PhD in English can get a job with an investment bank if they really want one.
Working class people are often being killed by their jobs for little pay and little chance of changing jobs. A PhD can change jobs
Again they took the jobs as cops because they could not finish college and had to get the best job they could get
That being said this is so crappy and you deserve much more.
I'm sure there are some genuinely passionate people, but no one is going to do such a demanding job for less money than you can make in retail.
Which is criminal for all of us.
Learners deserve good teachers.
We are all learners.
Teachers deserve to be valued.
We are all teachers but some do this formally for a career and are good
Male it make sense.
I'm furious about the use of AI, because these people will qualify without the base knowledge of the field they're qualified in.
We need to scare them off like we scared them off plagiarism
Many lecturers in scientific disciplines are on zero hours, as are many staff in the business school.
I realized that I would have made more than twice the salary as a public high school teacher in the district where I live.
It was a sobering moment.
Or it’s possible to get hired but have reach a promotion dead end early bc no degree.
I work another job as well because term time wages don't last through the year
Especially for that age group
People outside the academic world think that everyone teaching at colleges and universities is raking it in, and that's just not true.
