Only martyrs teach now in America.


martyrs, fools, and those who know they're not going to be working in the field for long and will later be stay at home parents. it's an accurate assessment.

many states have eliminated major draws to the field like defined-benefit pensions, free tuition for going into the field, etc

it was a cost-cutting response to the surge in college attendance and a surplus of people willing to work in the field. they are being chewed up and spat out.

this is what happens to workers who train for a labor market smaller than the labor pool. adjunct professors and postdocs live in a similar hell.


I can't imagine anything more degrading than training to a high level of academic skill only to be treated like a checkout chick at walmart.
