What are the challenges of being an adjunct professor?

[Scott Hill]

My original post turned into a career-advice thread, so let me try again. I am a 40-year-old physicist from Ohio. I earned my Ph.D. back in 2002, and I've been adjunct-teaching for the past ten years while raising two children and being the junior member of a two-body problem. My most recent research has been in complex networks, but I've dabbled in a number of fields. Still trying to figure out what I'm going to be when I grow up. :)

So hello!
