For many college teachers it may seem as if a university teaching career is a lost cause, but nothing could be less the case. Distance education technology has matured over the last ten to fifteen years to the point that online bachelor degree programs and online master's degree programs are very common. Despite the indisputable reality that up to seventy percent of all college teachers are now leading college classes at traditional post-secondary academic institutions such as community college and universities at subsistence wages with no hope whatsoever of earning a decent living from their intellects, the online adjunct instructors teaching for online degree programs are turning that dire set of economic circumstances on its head.
An online adjunct instructor with a clear perspective of how the academy labor force is being reconstituted with low-paid, temporary academic labor is in the catbird's seat since he or she has come to the realization that these online college degree programs must have qualified academics with the correct academic credentials teaching each and every online college classes offer to students enrolled in an accredited online bachelor degree program or an accredited online master degree program. As most college instructors with any time at all in the traditional academic setting knows the college administrators are desperate to retain accreditation for their curriculum, and the reason they are desperate is hat without accreditation from the various accreditation boards, the colleges and universities will not be permitted to continuing offering federal financial aid to their students.
This means that online college degree programs actually need online adjunct instructors, and more of them will be needed every day since the popularity of online college classes will continue to rise among college students. Further, as the thousands of post-secondary academic institutions deploy distance education technology, the market for the skills set offered by an alert and adept online college instructor will grow in value as the market expands in tandem with the ballooning student populations. It is possible now for an online instructor to teach eight to twelve online college classes at one time, and as the digital navigation skills of a person with a graduate degree grows with practice, the limit of how many online college courses can be taught in one day is entire up to the financial expectations of the online instructor, not the college and university administrators.
A very good living can be made by teaching online if you have a graduate degree and the activity can certainly revive your flagging college teaching career by giving you the opportunity to act in your own personal and professional interests as an academic entrepreneur instead of a faculty employee.
