What’s it like being an adjunct professor: https://youtu.be/vcQ4KIOqNic
PLEASE NOTE: I am talking about colleges and universities in the United States. These rules and uses do vary from country to country, and even from college to college within the United States. Some associate professors might be tenured or tenure track, that will vary depending on your department. This is just a (hopefully fun) basic guideline for those completely clueless about this sort of thing.
