This is the exact reason I decided NOT to get a doctoral degree in Anthropology in attempts to teach “fashion studies.”  Albeit, it is atrocious what we pay people who are supposed to make America smarter.  But then again, this is what happens when the college education system is not funded by the government: wearethe99percent: I am a college professor, teaching our future generations.  But like more than 50% of all college professors, I’m an Adjunct ‘contractor’.  This means I can be fired for any reason; this means I receive no paid vacation; this means I receive no health insurance; this means I receive no sick days; this means I receive no retirement; this means I receive no unemployment; this means I pay double Social Security taxes!  And I am paid little better than minimum wage.  I too am the 99%. occupywallst.org
