One of my professors got tenure while I was taking her class. She told us she made more waitressing in grad school than she did as a professor.

it's such a bummer that there's no way to counsel students who want to teach the topic.

Get a Masters and work at a Community College. It is just as valuable, and it focuses more on teaching.

At my small college we often have a hard time getting enough applicants. But the pay can't match the R1/R2 schools, so then they push adjuncts. 🙄

The top 10% of grad programs produce the majority of faculty. A PhD opens other doors in industry and other areas of education though
