208: You Are Being Sold a Lie: How to Plan for a Career Outside Academia (Replay)

<p>In this episode, Dra. Yvette discusses the topic of the adjunctification of academia as well as how and why it’s important to plan for a career outside of the tenure-track. Believe it or not, you likely have had a professor who earns wages that are below the poverty line, relies on public assistance, and/or  struggles to meet their basic needs. If you are being trained to become a tenure-track professor, the grim reality is that there’s a good chance you won’t land a t-t job, not because you’re not competitive or qualified, but rather because there just aren’t enough jobs. Tune in to this episode to learn a few ways to keep your career options open as you navigate grad school.</p> <p> </p> <p>Links mentioned in this episode:</p> <p><a href="https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-11-09/uc-lecturer-union-strike-pay">⁠https://www.latimes.com/opinion/story/2021-11-09/uc-lecturer-union-strike-pay⁠</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/04/20/new-report-says-many-adjuncts-make-less-3500-course-and-25000-year">⁠https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2020/04/20/new-report-says-many-adjuncts-make-less-3500-course-and-25000-year⁠</a></p> <p><a href="https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2019/04/adjunct-professors-higher-education-thea-hunter/586168/">⁠https://www.theatlantic.com/education/archive/2019/04/adjunct-professors-higher-education-thea-hunter/586168/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p><a href="http://gradschoolfemtoring.com/academy/">Sign up⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a> for my group coaching program to start working on your personal growth and gain sustainable productivity skills. </p> <p><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfzrsR0Bc1O9F49e3JAIdCK5G7ktPP7ZY_AAb_N08bi0q-aIw/viewform">⁠⁠⁠Book me⁠⁠⁠</a> to speak at your upcoming professional development event. </p> <p>Follow me on your favorite social media platforms: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/gradschoolfemtoring/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</a>, <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/yvettemartinezvu/">⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</
