Holding a Financial Standard While on the Faculty Job Market
About this episode
Emily interviews Dr. Dillon Pruett about his faculty job search and financial challenges.
In this episode, Emily interviews Dr. Dillon Pruett, an assistant professor in the School of Communication Science and Disorders at Florida State University. This is the second part of a two-part interview in which we discuss Dillon's turbulent faculty job search and transition to a faculty position. A higher income doesn't completely ameliorate all financial challenges, but the future is looking bright. Dillon's candor during this conversation is laudable, and his experiences are likely to be both relatable and a cautionary tale for prospective and new faculty members.
