The sheer number of new and returning college students earning an AA degree online, online bachelors degree and nursing degrees online is creating a unique employment opportunity for the online adjunct instructor willing to make the effort to lean how to navigate online classes.
Today, if you are a qualified adjunct instructor, meaning you possess an earned master’s degree, and you have the technical skills to use the Internet and various distance education software programs, plus you have a fairly well developed set of time management skills, you can earn a very comfortable living from your computer. If you have been laid off from a corporate position and you need to earn that corporate paycheck again, it can be accomplished by teaching six to ten online college courses for several online bachelor degree programs or two or three online masters degree program. Of course, in order to have this many online college courses to teach, you must first apply to hundreds of post-secondary schools.
That application process in and of itself require the same technical and time management skills necessary to be a successful online adjunct instructor. An aspiring full time seeker of online adjunct jobs must first engage the schools themselves in an effort to find out if the individual schools are actually hiring adjunct instructors to teach their students. The bright spot in all of this is that a university degree online will become more and more common as time goes on, and the reason it will become more ubiquitous is that the difference between offering an accredited degree online and one in the traditional on ground classroom is simply tremendous in terms of costs.
This economic element of post secondary education can be very advantageous to you because it can lead to a new lucrative career since it will only create more online adjunct professor positions. If you do the initial work of finding community colleges, state colleges and for profit schools that offer an online college degree to their students, it is entirely reasonable to think you will be able to pick and choose between different online adjunct employment situations. For example, you may decide to reject a school that only pay fifteen hundred dollars for an eleven week quarterly class and, instead, keep a school that pays fifteen hundred dollars for a six week class. Additionally, you may find the six week online college class time frame so reasonable in terms of how much you earn from teaching the class that you start selecting schools that only offer six week online college courses. In the end, it is possible to find so many post secondary academic institutions to work for that you become discerning about the elements of the online classes offered by the various schools.
In today’s employment market, the ability to pick can choose between jobs is a decided luxury, but that is the result of earning a comfortable living as an online adjunct instructor.
