Educators are experiencing some pretty hard times now since the faculty budgetary funds are being strangled to the point that hundreds of teachers with earned graduate degrees find themselves without a physical classroom to teach in every day. Given these circumstances it is time for teachers to celebrate the availability of online faculty positions and the rise of employment opportunities for teaching jobs online. Granted, there is still much debate about the academic effectiveness of delivering post-secondary academic instruction in a digital format, but the truth of the matter is that distance education technology is here to stay. Since the growing availability of the criminal justice online degree program, the engineering degree online and registered nursing degree online is undeniable the best strategy for the teacher with a master’s degree or Ph.D. that want to actually earn a decent living is to start applying to teach online college courses as soon as possible.
The online adjunct instructor can earn multiple adjunct income streams that will probably surpass what is possible to earn by trying to teach in one or two physical college classrooms. This is possible simply because all of the accredited distance learning universities are located on the Internet. The hundreds and thousands of educators that find themselves without a traditional school to teach at every day can replace that lost income by developing an online teaching schedule that can be coordinated in all aspects from a personal computer. The educators at secondary academic institutions and below that have an earned bachelor degree can enroll in an online master’s degree programs and earn a graduate degree. This is important because a master’s degree of Ph.D. is required by accreditation boards in order to teach at the post-secondary level. After the graduate degree is in hand, the search for online college degree programs with online college classes that need an instructor can begin in earnest.
What is vital for unemployed teachers to understand that distance education technology will continue to be the primary vehicle for the delivery of college teaching to new and returning post-secondary students. The students returning to the community college, state college or the four-year university are quite happy and satisfied to earn an online English degree, an online computer science degree or one of several online business degrees by logging onto the Internet and access an accredited distance learning program. The academic administrators that have to figure out how to make the shrinking operating budget for their colleges and universities are simply delighted to have the chance to replace expensive to maintain physical classrooms and the buildings that contain them with online college courses that are housed on a computer server and distributed to students every hour of the day and night.
The best way to identify a potential accredited distance learning college is to learn how to use an inexpensive laptop and hone the Internet navigation skills required to enter the websites of community colleges, for-profit colleges, state universities and four-year colleges. Every post-secondary school now has a website, and on the first page of that website is a link that will lead the prospective online adjunct instructor to the faculty application section. The plethora of online college classes that need academically qualified instructor that can use the Internet really is a reason to celebrate the availability of online faculty openings.
