There’s a post WWI song called “My Captain’s Working For Me Now” which takes the same situation.

But maybe he’s doing an ethnographic study — a little Robin Leidner action. . .

Teachable Moments

I agree that taking a second job can be disastrous if you take the wrong type of job! If we are supposed to be educated—could we not find a 2nd job better than flipping burgers? Say-working a a department store, authoring a book or article, working weekends for a company or coporation in which our degree is tied to? Most colleges provide for professional time that can also be used for secondary income—nurses work at the hospital for example. Maybe you have a part time hobby that can serve as a second source of income—welding, automotive repair, tutoring?? Think people!

I had no problem delivering pizza when I was teaching adjunct. In fact I was open, proud, and told my students.

If I could have made it on $500 a credit hour I wouldn’t have delivered pizza.

I actually used to call myself a professional pizza man doing a little teaching on the side.

In fact, Martha I might have even delivered to you! I delivered for Pizza Hut in Las Cruces.
