From the Back Cover:
When Mickey Hess discovers that he can list his experience as a college instructor on an application to work as an ice cream man -- and still get the job -- he starts to wonder if being a professor has lost its prestige. With college enrollment and tuition costs at record highs, universities are staffing their courses with part-time instructors who commute between different schools to make a living. Big Wheel follows one year in the life of an adjunct instructor who takes on side jobs as an ice cream man, stand-up comedian, haunted house character, and Billy Graham Crusader. The jobs begin out of financial necessity, but become more of a diversion from a teaching career that Hess fears he is starting to take far more seriously than this employers are taking him.
