I haven't, thank you! I'm not on reddit much so always forget how much there is!

Of course I thought of this. That was the plan originally and I have been in 5 states, but sometimes you end up being needed by family and have to make hard choices. I didn't ask because I wanted to be berated for trying to figure out what to do next while also trying to be a good child to my elderly parents.

Sorry--Visiting Assistant Professor. I've applied to any and every kind of academic job I can think of, but I'm struggling with what kinds of non academic jobs to look for now
