<i>It seems a huge part of this problem is some are treating these jobs as real, life supporting careers. They aren&#x27;t meant that way. Maybe colleges are taking advantage. But these adjuncts are also taking advantage of themselves willingly.</i><p>This sounds a lot like the argument that minimum wage isn&#x27;t supposed to be a living wage.  Well, whether it is or it isn&#x27;t, the current system (minimum wage or adjuncts) isn&#x27;t working for a lot of people, so something has to change.
