William Romano: MJC’s adjunct instructors should quit bellyaching

Recent submissions to The Bee bemoaning the lot of adjunct instructors are ridiculous. I taught at MJC for 11 years as an adjunct and never felt underpaid or put upon in any way. I was able to use 40 years of experience in broadcast news to convey to my students what they needed to know about surviving in a tough, competitive industry and consider it a privilege to have had the opportunity to pass on what I learned. There are some things in life that transcend financial equality, and one of those things is public service.
