“Lương giáo sư Việt Nam thấp nhất thế giới”

vẫn sống tốt,
giáo sư Mỹ phải đi bán dâm, ngủ tạm bợ qua đêm ở ôtô đây...
-----
...The wry (nhăn nheo) but weary-sounding (mệt mỏi, chán nản) middle-aged (trung niên) woman, who lives in a large US city and asked to remain anonymous (ẩn danh) to protect her reputation (danh tiếng), is an adjunct instructor (giáo sư trợ giảng), meaning she is not a full-time faculty member at any one institution and strings together a living by teaching individual courses, in her case at multiple colleges.
Sex work is one of the more unusual ways that adjuncts have avoided living in poverty, and perhaps even homelessness. A quarter of part-time college academics (many of whom are adjuncts, though it’s not uncommon for adjuncts to work 40 hours a week or more) are said to be enrolled in public assistance programs such as Medicaid. They resort to food banks and Goodwill, and there is even an adjuncts’ cookbook that shows how to turn items like beef scraps, chicken bones and orange peel into meals. And then there are those who are either on the streets or teetering on the edge of losing stable housing.
...The adjunct who turned to sex work makes several thousand dollars per course, and teaches about six per semester. She estimates that she puts in 60 hours a week. But she struggles to make ends meet after paying $1,500 in monthly rent and with student loans that, including interest, amount to a few hundred thousand dollars.
