The problem with this kind of advice and the fairly overly confident advice over here at HN is the individual, in my view, should not pay a terrible amount big attention, sure read and think about but this kind of thing applies in aggregate. For you, things could be very different because of various situations, opportunities, etc. You could sit and ready stories of upset adjuncts or you could just be tenacious keep jabbing and find a way.

Sure, in aggregate, let's mourn the professoriate.

But for you, don't buy into the hype too much .., you don't need every job, just one that makes you happy.

This applies to most of lamentations of job markets.
