 | I am looking to utilize it in a full time job. It is hard to get a teaching position without a PHd and even though I am an adjunct Faculty it does not pay the bills. What options are out there? Is stopping at a MA level a bad idea. I have two young kids, I don't think I will be able to go back to school any time soon.

| I am a junior majoring in sociology and my career goals include teaching sociology at the community college level. Is getting my M.A. in sociology the best way to go about this? Are there M.A. programs specifically for people who plan to teach at a CC? Does it make a difference?
What exactly is it like teaching at a junior college? What is the difference between a full-time and adjunct faculty?
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 | I'm interested in teaching at a community college. I'm a CPA and would teach accounting. I'm curious if other accountants have done this and enjoyed it or not. How do people do this with a full time job? Has anyone made the transition into doing this full time after working in industry?

 | I will be going back to school in the fall for my Masters in Fine Art. I would like to teach at the college level when I'm finished. I know plenty of professors who have enough professional experience to begin teaching with only a Bachelor's degree. I have worked in my field for over 10 years. How do you seek a professor job? It's not as if those types of jobs are posted. Would you contact the college directly and send a resume? Is there a place where these types of things are advertised? Can I start teaching while studying for my Masters?

| I am a PhD student and I am ready to graduate. I have studied Health and love teaching. There is one problem though: I hate research...Do not get me wrong: I love the thirst for knowledge and knowing more, but just can not do research AS A CAREER.
I love to teach and spread the knowledge. Will there be jobs in university or colleges for just teaching courses? I am well versed in teaching...
What other sort of jobs do you suggest for me?
