"What began as a movement of those holding “McJobs” is now brimming over
with new participants making the point that virtually all jobs nowadays
are, or at least can be, McJobs—even the latest to join in with
demonstrations held on April 15: adjunct college professors."
On the troubles of the US higher education system. The pressure to turn
universities into profit centres rather than having the taxpayer fund
them for the good of the nation is not exclusive to the US, so many of
these systemic problems are showing up in other countries such as the UK
and Australia - though perhaps not to such a severe degree.
