 * Another idea: look at administrative positions at universities you are interested in. One of my friends moved quickly from grad student to Associate dean (in under 5 years) and he told me, "a PhD can be like a union card for many of the most powerful positions at a university." Something to consider. Plus, many schools will let you work out a joint appt (you teach maybe one course a year but have an administrative position in student advising, the graduate school, etc. )

 * Wiki Warning (and Defense)

Jobberwiki
Exhaustig, as my chums from school

Did grum and gream at Em Allay:

All mopesy was the Chronicule,

But we’d been twerking all day.

“Beware the Jobberwik, my son!

Five-minute tasks shall take five days!

Beware the Letter Service! Shun

its mislaid dossiers!”

Took hours to choose our vorpal pens:

And sighned our coverlets with pride –

And threw Seevees into the breeze,

And sat awhile, and cried.

And as we kvented and kvetched

The Jobberwik, that pushy moocher,

Shtiffled past us as we retched,

And sketchered at our futures!

Oi veh! Oi veh! All night, all day

At Em Allay we groamed and grobbed –

And left half-dead, but in our heads

The slight hope we’d been jobbed.

“And shall we feed the Jobberwik?

And shall we gain or lose employ?

Regardless, shall we kill morale,

or fight despair with joy?”

Exhaustig, as my chums from school

Did grum and gream at Em Allay:

All mopesy was the Chronicule,

But we’d been twerking all day.
