I'm currently in a TT position and thinking about leaving. So I'd love to hear your thoughts and experiences on the matter.

First I took a research-y position in mental health. Decided I didn't love it. Being outside of my area of interest was like being a fish out of water. Plus the corporate 9 to 5 schedule felt stifling. I was used to some of the freedom you enjoy as a grad student - like writing from Starbucks, which was a no-no, and when inspiration or brilliance doesn't come in your cubicle, you have to come up with something before you leave the office.<br /><br />I started teaching again. It's been several months but I really realized that I like the "fun" in being a teacher, asking the questions, getting students to really think, and seeing their interest and excitement over the material (well... some of them). (I enjoyed it much more than the reports and graphs I was writing for a living before.) <br /><br />So I've been on both sides - academic and non-academic - and I'm much preferring the side I'm on now. Even if students will sometimes stomp on your last nerve. There is no harm in trying a new path. I did. And came back to the academic side.Khiahttp://www.yourgradschoolcoach.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333162355327458803.post-16059799567952500142011-06-06T20:14:31.148-05:002011-06-06T20:14:31.148-05:00Congrats!

All of them wonder whether life will get better since the higher ed system doesn't look as if its improving..only getting worse. As recent PhD says just keep on refusing to become a mindless, voicless cog in the machine.Antheahttp://www.senseworlds.com/bewildernessnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333162355327458803.post-64253622643766608892011-06-05T12:23:45.987-05:002011-06-05T12:23:45.987-05:00Thanks, Lee and recent PhD. I'm glad to hear I...Thanks, Lee and recent PhD. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who is disillusioned with the higher ed system, and my place in it, and yet unable to make a clean break. <br /><br />I can completely relate to your concern, recent PhD, that once you're on the tenure track, you're become completely mind fucked, so to speak, and wrapped up in academe, despite going in with the best of intentions. <br /><br />My problem is that even though I've wracked up major debt to get where I am today, and spent a decade of my life in grad school/post-grad fellowships and moved all over the world w/ family in tow, I don't really want to get tenure at the place where I'm starting this fall. I need a job for sure, and health insurance, but I wouldn't be too upset if I had to work a "regular" job and write academic stuff on the side. Once you get to that point, mentally speaking, you're unwilling to put up with as much BS. So I don't think it will be long before I shoot myself in the foot.<br /><br />Tune in here to found out!E.W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17106082488141824066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333162355327458803.post-36771473820724711082011-06-05T09:01:29.487-05:002011-06-05T09:01:29.487-05:00Keep reminding yourself of this: "I refuse to...Keep reminding yourself of this: "I refuse to completely succumb to the system and become a mindless, voiceless cog in the machine." Print it out and hang it up in your new office.<br /><br />Nobody's offered me a tt job yet, but I've only been on the market twice (1st time ABD) and will probably give it one more -- albeit it very limited -- shot this fall. The thing that bothers me the most, though, if someone should want to offer me a tt job, even a "dream" job, is that I would get so wrapped up in it that I WOULD succumb, that I would just go back to being the mindless, voiceless cog in the system that I was before I started to take a harder look at it in the last year or so.<br /><br />Good luck with moving ahead! Staying "on the fence" as you do so most surely helps keep things in perspective.recent Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/01076749808434578362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7333162355327458803.post-84037786654623355392011-06-05T07:39:44.557-05:002011-06-05T07:39:44.557-05:00I know how you feel.

IT's not on the tenure-track, but it has benefits and reliable pay. Like you, there are days that I love it and days that I loathe it. I'm, like you, still on the fence. <br /><br />Keep fighting the good fight. I had a TT job and it wasn't the dream I thought it would be.
