    I was going to say before tensions increased with China I remember PhD grads leaving for the simple fact that there were plenty of tenure track positions in China but far fewer here.

      Every singe one of my professors, regardless of how long they’ve been at the university, has been an adjunct professor, and therefore paid extremely poorly. The only exception was a US history professor who spent half the class time talking about how Trump was the greatest president or whatever.
