Is this article supposed to be a statement that professors are underpaid? What is their point?

This is a big inconveniance for the part time professors, but there may be unseen benefits. These part time professors will be forced to continue their interaction with the public sector, and this may allow their thinking to become more tolerant of the capitalist system.

This Connecticut man earns more money working at a grocery store than as a college professor

They say this like it's a bad thing!

‘Adjuncts can’t teach more than two courses at one time across the entire Connecticut State College system, which comprises 4 four-year colleges, 12 two-year colleges, and an online university.’

Has he thought about... leaving Connecticut to find a full-time job?????

I guess he is unable to land a permanent faculty position maybe because, gasp, he is not a leader in his area of expertise?

There’s a real simple answer — if you don’t make enough as an adjunct professor, then don’t be an adjunct professor.

Adjunct means they are paid a set amount of money to teach class(es).

Union baby, that is why you cant teach more than two courses.

Eat broadly and deeply of leftist law, sucker, and keep the cans straight on the shelves.

The article is staggeringly disingenuous, trying to compare apples to oranges, golf balls, q-tips, fireflies...

Upshot is he makes something like $37.50/hr for some 256 hours of teaching, and roughly $10/hr for 2000 hours (a full year full time) or $20/hr for half-time work.

Well, yeah.

The clickbait headline fails to note that the dramatically less-profitable job limits him to less than one-quarter the hours of the other job. Little surprise that working significantly longer hours will net more pay than 12-25% of those hours.

... there's a rule in Connecticut: Adjuncts can't teach more than two courses at one time across the entire Connecticut State College system, which comprises 4 four-year colleges, 12 two-year colleges, and an online university.

That's so the State doesn't have to pay for health insurance and other benefits.

Of course, most libs don't even know when they are being bitten in the @ss by their own advocacy. Proving George Orwell's point:

"So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don't even know that fire is hot."

(And Orwell was a liberal and a socialist but he had the sense to see through much of libs lack of foresight)

Not to mention the higher prestige enjoyed as a store clerk.

When I was in college the one adjunct professor I had worked at Allison Transmission for his full time job. What is this guy’s field? I think colleges should have to disclose upfront that certain degrees limit your employment opportunities to professor, or grocery clerk.

as a grocery clerk he does far more to earn his money than a college professor.

Grocery store clerks are more useful than a college professor. Quit the professor job and go full time at the grocery store.

Each job paid him what he was worth to the employer.

Draw whatever inference you want from that.
