Writers expecting to supplement their art by teaching college level courses might need to find a new day job. A quarter of all part-time college faculty receive some sort of public assistance, reports Slate. Those numbers include Medicaid and nutrition assistance (better known as food stamps). Though other occupations like fast-food workers still have higher rates of public assistance, college faculty require far more education. Slate also points out that since the numbers are based on census information, there are some part-time faculty who might list other jobs and therefore are excluded from the dataset.
