    The university system is a fuck and nothing made me hate it more than attending it.

    I enjoyed college life for the most part, but the peonage of the “adjunct” system was unjust and you can see the weariness and precarity in the instructors’ eyes, though the handful of older tenured “fuck you, got mine” types certainly seemed to enjoy their little perches.

    Two, just two, of my tenured professors were actually amazing and were full comrades, up to and including on-the-street cred for being there for key Civil Rights skirmishes.

      I fully sympathize. Like don’t get me wrong, I really liked college and if I could, I’d love to wake up as 18 again and go once more, but college in the us is cooked and the war on education has made sure of that.
