Basically, not only do you get questionable retirement benefits if you stay in the profession, but you also get zero job security until you're tenured. In Massachusetts at least, you're just as vulnerable as a high-tech sales guy to getting abruptly terminated without explanation--for the entire first *three years* of teaching. Being a member of a "protected class" gets you zip, and your union dues serve only to protect the jobs of the lobbyists. Unless the administrator does something completely stupid, you have no recourse other than to file for unemployment and find another job--in another profession, because you probably won't get another teaching job in today's market. Yeah, teaching. Not so attractive either lately, though public-school teaching does pay better than adjunct college teaching (so my friends tell me). -rich
