Adjuncts as Entrepreneurs

Recently, you published an article about adjuncts as entepreneurs. In it, you portrayed this approach to the profession as not profitable. My wife and I are adjuncts, and we earned over $70,000 last year. Neither of us has a doctorate. I earned about $45,000 and she earned about $25,000 ( because she was just starting out). We do not live in a major metropolitan area. This year our objective is to earn a combined income of $80,000. Lawyers and accountants take this kind of approach to their careers. Why not adjuncts? I can’t believe you would discourage adjuncts for the purpose of promoting some union-type agenda. This is the reason I am not renewing my subscription. I was looking for support for my approach.
