A new study suggests that distressed borrowers using a simpler bankruptcy process are succeeding — and that more people like them should try.

The process which enables this was introduced during the Biden administration.

    You havnt applied for faculty positions, even to teach? psych. i know FACULTY is nealry impossible to get as they are hyper-competitive, because tenures arnt leaving til they croak/ or cant teach anymore due to physical illness. at least in the biotech area, potential applicants have to have a obscenely large amount of entries in thier cv to get noticed by universities, like dozens of papers(wether they are good quality or just fluff pieces is another matter, and brings a whole new can of worms in the industry)

      I’m looking to teach and do research.

      Tenure track positions are slim to none now days.

      Most universities do something akin to gig work. (Isn’t that some shit? I go to school for 14 years to do gig work!!)

      They hire you to teach a class at a semester-to-semester situation.

      Those positions suck as there are no full time employee benefits nor security. But they are easier to find and get.

      Since I’m a fresh graduate I’m looking at community colleges to start with. Then in 2 years I am hopeful I can find a university position and start research again. But you are right about competition. And at present I have nothing published. I’m hoping to get a published paper from my dissertation work but I feel like that’s 50/50.

      Also I feel like I need a break from research and need to build up my syllabus courses and that takes an enormous amount of time. So I’m okay with doing teaching only for 2 years.

      My first solo teaching class easily took 30+ hours a week to prepare for. Not counting the 3 hr lecture. And it was my specialty area.

      I talked to a few other professors and they said that’s what they remember it being for the first time they taught each of their classes. I wasn’t expecting that.

      At present I only have 1 fully prepared course. However I’m qualified to teach probably 6 courses.

      So depending on what the college needs, I will almost certainly need to create new courses.

      Research methods class is a favorite of mine and it just so happens most professors hate teaching it. So I think I might have a good “in” by emphasizing I’m open to teaching it.

      It’s always good to know what you can do that others can’t or don’t want to do.
