unhelpful and lacking practical advice
This book is little more than a defense of the adjunct job market against charges of exploitation. It would make a fine magazine article, but it's much too thin to be worth a book.I wanted concrete advice from this book: how to tailor my cv for adjunct positions, the differences between community colleges and universities, whether adjuncting is a viable option for parents of young children. I got none of that information, just some basic tips on recycling class plans and remedial money managment.My advice: read Jill Carroll's columns in the Chronicle of Higher Education instead. You can get them for free online, and they are much more detailed and informative than this disappointing book.
