Academia’s underclass is real, and I am not referring to freshmen and sophomores. Of course, it has to be a foreign publication that carries this story because the American corporate media will not talk about this issue. Please take a quick read and return: Facing poverty, academics turn to sex work and sleeping in cars.

. . . .

Welcome back. I saw that article when it came out. I couldn’t get through much of it without feeling horrible for the whole education system and the people it abuses.
