Ah, all of this, and you get paid $1200-$1500 / semester, IF your class doesn't get cancelled, and I would know about the salary. I was about to become one of those adjuncts, teaching introductory probability and statistics, when I found that only three students at that college were willing to sign up for that class, listed in the schedule as being taught by the well known Prof.Staff. (He gets around a lot). I still remember walking down the street, wondering what happened, when passing a line of people hoping to get into a class that did seem to be of interest to students - "finding your animal spirit guide". No, I'm not making that up. A little about the "privileged" life that the backbreaking work they did in graduate school made possible, for so many, while the former frat boy executives who drank and cheated their way through school have so often ended up having to struggle by on six figure incomes, as they stare forlornly out their corner office windows. I'm not guessing about the frat boys. I've tutored and graded the papers of a number of these "achievers". A little more truth about life in the so-called land of opportunity, in the Postmodern Era.
