Teaching Faculty I

Pros

It is a job. There are few things to enjoy about it.

Cons

Starting salary is the lowest in Florida with little upward mobility. Additional job requirements can be added at anytime with no additional pay increase. Despite being fiscally dependent upon the tuition of the large student body in the liberal arts courses, the research faculty is treated like gods over the mere mortal teachers, making double and triple salaries. For example, a teaching faculty member is lucky to be given a $500 merit raise, while a tenure faculty member can receive a $5,000 discretionary increase in salary on top of a larger merit raise. In short, FSU perpetuates the wealth inequality gap without shame for its immoral practices. I would avoid this job at all costs.

Pros

FSU is a top notch state university. Looks great on resume. Fantastic way to stay current.

Cons

As an adjunct you only get hired one semester at a time, work is only part time and temporary. Must have PhD to obtain full time regular employment.

Pros

It's a great part-time job especially while living on campus. The people are fantastic and you'll make friends for life

Cons

The pay is not competitive depending on which department you are in. I would recommend looking into different departments to find the best fit for the price.
