I didn't down-vote your comment (or your other comment) but I can see why someone might think it's a bit harsh. I tend to agree with you in at least one respect ... we only need a certain number of English professors and while the complaint is universities and colleges hiring instructors instead of offering tenure track positions, the ability to staff their institutions this way is strictly due to an abundant supply. My wife followed her dream 25 years later, I'm still supporting the family while the work she does is primary for the benefit of society as a whole. We're not surprised and therefore we're safe so long as I'm employed.
