"higher" education

[mamadot]

I was told by a fully tenured professir in NY State Full Time professors at public universities (incl. CC) are paid almost double of what private institutions pay & they get great benefits...on the other hand, wanna laugh? In NYS to be a HS teacher you have to have a MS degree but not in college. Minimal requirement is a BA/BS!

I doubt funding is the issue because where they make up for low tuition by having enrolling like 20K of students at a time. Not to mention stipents from the state.

I think CC depends a great deal on adjuncts & these people already have FT jobs elsewhere, they're an entirely different breed. Stick to classes taught by FT professors & you might see a difference.

Most adjuncts are cool, becuase they dont care. its not their school anyway.

Actually, yes you do. Especially if you want to live in America, because now you should try to develope everything that you can, so that you can get a job. Unless you want to end up a hobo.

P.S. No offense to hobos. I gave one my oranges once.

I always thought of the community college, as just another high school.
