More than ever teachers at every level of the academic spectrum need a little academic optimism. The mass layoffs of academic college instructors, secondary teachers and others are giving pause to those that are already on the career path of education and those that are considering education as a viable means of earning a professional income. The good news is that the changes in the academic labor market can be successfully confronted with the right spirit of academic entrepreneurship. The vast majority of post-secondary instruction is being moved online at this time by college and university administrators simply because it is much less expensive to use a computer server to deliver academic instructional materials than it is to continue to maintain physical college classrooms. Distance education technology has matured to the point that it is no longer possible for academic administrators to ignore the efficiency of it when trying to meet the educational needs of growing student populations. This means that online adjunct teaching positions will continue to grow in number and really do represent a viable way for under employed and unemployed individuals with earned graduate degrees to earn a decent living as educators.
An online adjunct instructor can develop a full time online teaching schedule populated with online adjunct nursing faculty positions, online adjunct accounting jobs and online adjunct business teaching positions by making multiple applications every day to online bachelor degree programs and online masters degree programs. It is not all that easy to acquire multiple online college courses to teach, but the effort is certainly worth it since there are several aspects of online adjunct jobs that cannot be found in on the physical college, university of community college campus. For example, it is not necessary to use a motor vehicle to drive between campuses every day when teaching online for schools that offer their students online business management degrees, online degrees for military or the online rn to bsn degree. Imagine the amount of online adjunct income that could be saved simply by not being forced to spend any money on transportation.
Another aspect of online adjunct instructor positions is that the online teaching schedule is much easier to scale up or down than is the teaching schedule on physical campuses. For example, in order to locate an additional physical college or university campus to teach on every day, and thus increase the income from post-secondary instruction, it is first necessary to actually have additional campuses within driving distance. It is not possible to teach for a community college that is located hundreds of miles away from the campus of another college or university. The transportation costs alone, not to mention the sheer expenditure of time, would destroy any of the small amount of income earned from the additional class. On the other hand, it is extremely easy to accept offered online college courses at any school that has online college degree programs because all that is required to make the acceptance is a personal computer with access to the Internet. As more online degree programs emerge on the Internet, online adjunct teaching positions will shine as a path to economic and professional academic independence for the alert online adjunct instructor.
