Only briefly was I an assistant professor, in a program with too few students to support the course offerings.<\/p>\n<p>The reasonable question to ask, and one I have asked constantly for 30 years, is, \u201c<strong>Why do I keep trying to teach?<\/strong>\u201d My reasons include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The enjoyment of teaching and the time I spend with students.<\/li>\n<li>The schedule, with breaks, which allows me recovery time, something few other professions offer.<\/li>\n<li>The realistic option teaching offers most <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Creative writing\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Creative_writing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener wikipedia\">creative writers<\/a>, who cannot survive on writing alone.<\/li>\n<li>The financial security promised if you attain tenure.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I have admitted before, I\u2019d often rather sit at home and write than have a standard career. Home is safe, quite, and controlled. But, I also needed a stable career and truly enjoy teaching.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I\u2019m much older and that career proved too elusive. Any career proved elusive.<\/p>\n<p>I did try the \u201cmake your own career\u201d approach, and that cost my wife and I a lot of time, money, and heartache. I do not have the social skills that an entrepreneur needs and neither does my wife. Introverts need an extrovert business partner.<\/p>\n<p><strong>These<\/strong>\u00a0<strong>must be my final months pursuing an academic career<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>The adoption of our foster daughters was delayed, so I politely declined interviews in other states. Until we are their legal parents, I have learned not to assume adoption is just around the corner. Last year, I thought the adoption process would be completed before July or August (2017). It wasn\u2019t, and I already know I don\u2019t want to relocate without my family. I could handle a month or two, maybe three, but not a year without my wife and daughters.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve had interviews and campus visits, but no solid employment offer. It seemed like I was close a few times. Twice I was asked about possible salary requirements and anything else I might require. In both instances, I referenced what I had earned as a full-time professor and offered an average of those annual salaries. I never heard back \u2014 no follow-up at all.<\/p>\n<p>Without an academic home, I am still putting together proposals and writing draft papers, alone and in collaboration with others. Desperation or delusion or something. I had imagined a job offer for 2018-19, so I kept moving forward with submissions. <strong>Reality is taking hold<\/strong>. Hard to admit the truth, sometimes, especially when the truth is a lot of time, money, and energy invested in a career path that was not to be.<\/p>\n<p>I was never great at anything, but <strong>I am a good teacher<\/strong>. The evaluations of colleagues and students reflect the quality of my teaching and scholarship.<\/p>\n<p>That wasn\u2019t enough to find a career path.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I entered the University of Southern California in 1987 as a quad major.
