It can be lucrative: our associate editor earns more in five hours at Applebee's than the Great Desert University pays her in a week.<br /><br />Is a female full bull a full bullette?<br /><br />But let's get a grip here: They are NOT going to can anyone who's full. not not not not!!!!Funny about Moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188173788063351801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-10655912573479252642009-11-17T08:45:40.331-06:002009-11-17T08:45:40.331-06:00@Funny--Two fulls in my household.

We have a lot of that kind of talk here, too. But even Arizona's bird-brained legislators don't want to deal with riots in the streets.<br /><br />The community colleges are downright exploding. The one where I'm teaching p/t had a 23% increase in FTE in ONE SEMESTER! And they're starting to hire, even as they look at more threatened budget cuts. In addition to the job I just applied for, Yavapai College in Prescott is advertising an English position. Salary's nowhere near as good as Maricopa County's, but Prescott is a charming place to live.<br /><br />Interestingly, in your 50s you're probably not too old. With a good 10 years on you two, I made it to the interview stage for the position I'm after at Glendale CC. Because of the way the application process is set up, the hiring committee can't miss either the age or the Ph.D.<br /><br />Is either one of you full? I don't expect many universities are hiring full bulls just now, but if you're associate you're probably more or less employable.Funny about Moneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13188173788063351801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8242926316765633205.post-43875487031882670912009-11-15T20:50:02.424-06:002009-11-15T20:50:02.424-06:00@cubicle--You are a savvy detective!

That may open up positions wherever that is - UNO, ULL?<br /><br />Hopefully, even if it came down to cuts in education, faculty positions would be some of the last things to go.Over the Cubicle Wallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04842722161649016062noreply@blogger.com
