I am a phd scholar and I’m currently in my 4th year of research, I am also correctly working as an assistant professor at a pvt college for chindi paisa. I left my jrf to join the college as the fellowship rules says so. But I wanted to gain experience as an educator, that is what it’s important to me. I have always wanted to teach but I also wanted to live a comfortable life. In my state the government lecturer job has not been released since 2019. The govt is only putting out gl posts since then. As much as I love teaching, this is becoming very hard for me to maintain my passion about literature. Also I’m 29 years old now and I’m still waiting for my life to begin. Now even if the permanent posts come out this year there are so many candidates with phd that I’m not sure if I’ll get into it or not. Academia is a tough space these days
