Adjunct Teaching

[Wiglaf]

You think undergrads at a typical 4-year university do "thoughtful research"? Dream on.

Many universities require a senior thesis for honors or even for graduating. Also, the teachers at these schools are smarter and harder, so the degree means they did more thoughtful work.

When was the last time a student at a community college wrote a thesis or did any thoughtful research? Students there either couldn't make a state school or want a late associate's degree so they can stop baking cakes or want career advancement whatever. If the average CC student attempted any sort of sophisticated academic activity, many actual college students could decimate them.

There's nothing wrong with going to a crap college/community college or teaching at one. But don't go pretending it's something it isn't.

I've known some very smart community college students at the last institution I taught at.

Once again, your ignorance shines through.

Congrats on the position. Make sure you use your position as a teacher to your advantage with the male students desperate for marks.

Career is good for me. Through a combination of good timing and apparently good impressions, I'm team lead for a 6-man team now doing software consulting for a major US investment bank. The youngest person aside from me (24) is 28. Oldest is 34. It's awkward, but good. It's my first time with minions in any real setting. I'm a real go getter!

But I fear I must stop wearing hoodies to work in favour of some snazzier dress clothes with my new role. Also have to travel more, but it's mostly to NYC which is a hop, skip, and a jump from here (1 hr flight). Good for frequent flier miles.

Congratulations man!

Well, maybe you should stop mentioning that you fetishize your bosses at every past job, in your cover letters.

C'mon! You're only 15! Right now, you have to stay in school & be bored to tears. That way, when you become and adult, you can get a high-paying job, be bored to tears but make lots of mondy
