Isn't being an adjunct professor without a PhD a bit unusual? I taught courses while I was a PhD student, for which I got squat, at the same time I was a research assistant. But at least it was helping to build experience and my resume.

So tell us why you are willing to work so hard for so little (per hour). Is there a union on your campus that you're a member of and if so, what are they doing to try to remedy this? Also, for those who may have little idea, estimate the dollars per hour you are earning, counting not only class time, but prep, office hours, grading, etc.

But the question is, would you give up wonderful times in your 50s through 80s to avoid this sort of end in your 90s?
