The Job Front

My teaching days may be over. I thought the advantage of adjuncts for the machine was that we were cheap and disposable. Apparently I was only half right, we're certainly disposable. I subbed a few weeks this semester. My one section in the summer was yanked for low enrollment. Meanwhile, faculty are seeing a 20% increase in their course loads.

My decision to take a sales job appears timely, but first I have the distinct misfortune of paying $315 take a week long insurance licensing course. That starts next week. I'm really hoping this pans out. I'd like to say, for once, that I'm not struggling financially and I'm being paid what I'm worth. We'll see.
