      Wow, a job ad for a history faculty, Ph.D. required, 4 courses per semester, $37,000-$38,000. In what world does it seem to anyone acceptable to pay such salaries to highly-educated employees, whose labor is at the heart of your organization's mission? I hope this search fails

          "how dare you pay someone with a credential so little" sucks that the credential is revealed to be worthless by the market maybe you should level with people about this before encouraging them to burn their prime years pursuing such a credential idk just a thought about ed ethics

          also 1. its fine to learn things to become richer 2. its fine to learn things because learning is a genuinely noble human pursuit 3. the set of knowledge relevant to (1) is a strict-ass subset of knowledge relevant to (2) so be real with yourself about which your doing

          These people really do not live in reality. And they seem to be multiplying at an astounding pace.

          it is once you subtract the ruinous debt involved in getting a PhD in an unsubsidized field such as history starting to think there might be better ways to do things

          Again, stupid, not cruel. Asking for something that a single percent of the population has and offering average compensation is dumb.

          This just demonstrates that supply still far exceeds demand, even at 1% scarcity. And it's not like they didn't know that before embarking on the journey.

          do you do much teaching? because teaching 4 courses is a huge workload and if you think that the person who takes that job is only working 40 hours/week, you're very confused. They're probably teaching/working/grading/prepping more like 70-80 hours week... so more like $10/hr
