    Great information, but one small question what about Adjunct Professor? I only ask because outside of my full-time job at the college I work I am an Adjunct Professor which is for individuals who doesn't teach a full course load but would like to explore the experience of teaching at the undergraduate level.

    • @karatyson8234
      @karatyson8234 4 года назад +1

      Adjuncts live in poverty. Usually they are paid per class--between $1800 to $3,000 for four months--with no benefits (capped at 4 classes per year). It used to be a way to get full time, but not anymore. Please don't go this route.
      The janitor, secretary, and grad assistants make double. $12,000 yearly-driving between 2 states. Pay delays of almost 2 months and classes can be cancelled without prior notice.

    Is the job security higher for tenure track professors as opposed to lecturers? (or is the job security just low for adjunct professors?)

    • @theacademicsociety
      @theacademicsociety  3 года назад +1

      I think that it depends on the school and the department. My job as a non-tenure track lecturer is a permanent position with promotion. So I think of it as running parallel to the tenure track timeline. After being a lecturer, I can be promoted to senior lecturer, and then principal lecturer. I'm sure that this wildly varies across different universities.

    What kind of research would a professor do? I'm new to this information and trying to decide which route to go. I heard that professors have to have their own funding for research. Do professors choose what they research? If they perform research do they make less than just teaching? I also saw they could have a contract. There are so many branches I wish I could find a place that they are organized according to salary, hours they work, and type. Do you have any advice or links you could provide? Thanks in advance.

    • @theacademicsociety
      @theacademicsociety  4 года назад +2

      I don't know if there is any one resource that breaks all of this down. But typically professors who do research make more money than those who only teach. I would recommend talking with a professor in your field of study to ask about the type of research they do.

    Thanks for this informative video. Just 2 quick questions:
    1. In your field at your school, how many classes are Tenure-track v. Lecturer professors required to teach?
    2. Can lecturers still do a bit of research on the side if they really want to?
    Thanks and keep up the great videos.

    • @theacademicsociety

      Great question! At my school, Lecturers teach 12 hours a semester. I think tenure track teach 6 or 3 hours a semester. And lecturers are welcome to do research as well.

    good video, wish schools wouldn't pay folks less than 50K, (and demand or, rather "prefer") folks to have a PhD. just feels as if they are totally unaware of the market around them and Non-PhD requiring jobs can earn more than 50K ... my current place matches your schools average, unfortunately thanks to the higher ed system reshuffling, i now have to drop below 50K in another school ;(
