The state race to layoff as many public education instructors as possible is gaining speed with each passing month, and there is real issue evolving for those intellectuals that are forced to look elsewhere for a way to support themselves and their families. It is such a muddle that it is entirely understandable how an individual with an earned graduate degree could fall into a sort of professional despair over the prospects of ever being able to earn a decent living again by teaching students. The fact of the matter is that online college jobs can move a teaching career forward but only if the educators has a graduate degree, a Ph.D. or master’s degree, or is willing to invest the time and money to earn one before applying to teach for online bachelor degree programs and online masters degree programs. Of course, it is extremely helpful to have documentary experience teaching at the post-secondary level of the academy, so traditional adjunct college faculty members are prime candidates for faculty positions teaching online classes, but an aggressive educators can overcome the lack of college and university teaching experience simply because there is a crying need now and well into the future for academically qualified and technical prepared online adjunct instructors is growing by leaps and bounds. Plus, new and returning college and university students and academic administrators are all on the same page about the real benefits accredited distance learning programs although for different reasons.
Today’s university student considers a personal computer and access to the Internet as a way of life, and they see clearly that enrolling in online college degree programs and earning an online associate nursing degree, an online master in teaching or a business management degree online using these digital tools. After all, college students understand that it is much more efficient and less costly to attend an online college course from home or at work than it is to drive a vehicle to a physical campus and sitting for hours at odd times of the day or night only to have to drive the vehicle back to home or work. So for the college, university and community colleges students attending online college courses is an excellent choice for earning an online college degree and increasing their chances to improve their employment prospects as the economy improves in the future. The academic administrators that have to meet the educational needs of student populations that are larger than at any time in the last sixty to seventy years are struggling with disappearing budgetary funds that are required to simply maintain the physical college classrooms and the campuses on which they reside.
The combination of increasing opportunity for unemployed educators and underemployed academics as a result in the rise of online college jobs, the outright acceptance of online college courses by students and the genuine need for a less expensive delivery system for post-secondary instruction on the part of administrators is a distinctly positive aspect of distance education technology. The alert academic will take note of these changes in the academic labor market and start applying for employment opportunities for teaching jobs online as soon as possible.

Stop Your Academic Crisis with Online Adjunct Teaching Jobs
The landscape of the academic labor force is very rocky these days as a result of the discontinuation of budgetary funds required to retain secondary instructors or increase the wages of traditional adjunct college faculty members. In many ways the recent reduction of funds from the state level for public education has created a career crisis for individuals with an earned graduate degree, a master’s degree or Ph.D., and extensive classroom experience. After all, where is a teacher supposed to go to recoup the lost income from a layoff at the secondary level? At the same time, where is a traditional adjunct college professor supposed to go in order to gain enough physical classrooms to teach in order to generate a living wage from the delivery of post-secondary instruction? The best solution to confront these non-productive circumstances is to harness distance education technology and stop your academic crisis in its tracks with online adjunct teaching jobs. After all, both new and returning college and university students and academic administrators are highly enthusiastic about the ease and cost-efficiency of online bachelor degree programs and online master’s degree programs that can be accessed from a personal computer with a connection to the Internet. There is no reason a teacher with the appropriate academic credentials and a modest level of technical skill should engage the proliferation of accredited distance learning programs for economic ascendancy and professional freedom.
Today’s college and community college students are so familiar with the Internet that earning an associate degree in business administration online, a bachelor degree online in psychology or a business education online degree seems perfectly logical. After all, students would prefer not to drive to a remote college or university campus, which requires spending money on fuel and associated motor vehicle repairs that can negatively impact a college student’s semester budgets, and sit for countless hours in a dimly lit, poorly ventilated classroom for hours listening to a lecture or taking a paper test. At the same time, academic administrators are in a genuine financial corner as the attempt to meet the educational needs of ballooning student populations that are larger than at any time since the middle of the twentieth century. These administrators are quite happy to make available an affordable college degree online by developing and deploying accredited online college courses for a fraction of the cost demanded by the physical plants known as college and university campuses.
The academic with a graduate degree can fill the need for qualified online adjunct instructors by visiting the websites of the thousands of community colleges, state universities, four year colleges and for-profit colleges, locating the link on the front page of each academic website and following that link to the faculty application section. This section of the school’s website is designed specifically to make the task of submitting academic credentials for available online adjunct teaching jobs quick and efficient. By simply taking the time to master the navigation of the internet with a personal computer and making as many applications as possible each and every day, the prospective online adjunct instructor can eventually acquire an online teaching portfolio that will effectively stop the academic crisis for educators.

Online Adjunct Job Openings are Certainly Possible
It is not easy to make the transition from the traditional college, university or community college classroom to an online degree program that can be accessed from a computer with an Internet connection. However, it is of paramount importance to make the effort to discover the benefits of online adjunct job openings and their growth in the academy. It is now common knowledge that faculty budgets at state funded post-secondary academic institutions are being cut drastically as those monies dry up at the state level. The question for any academic is what to do with the earned graduate degree, a master’s degree or Ph.D., that will actually generate more income since the reduced income most adjunct college professors earn for teach a handful of college classes on one or two physical campuses is simply not enough to hold body and soul together.
The way now to earn a decent living from teaching college students is to learn how to acquire a variety of online adjunct jobs with multiple online bachelor degree programs and online masters degree programs. Granted, for those academics that have resisted even acknowledging the existence of distance education technology the leap forward will be both startling and confusing in the extreme, but for those adjunct college instructors that have kept abreast of the locating and applying to schools that offer their students the opportunity to earn an engineering degree online, a registered nursing degree online or an online mba degree. In both cases, the changing academic labor force and the decreasing availability of physical classes to teach during the long semester will impact the ability to earn enough money from post-secondary instruction to pay the bills.
The online adjunct instructor that develops a rotational application strategy, which means sending many applications for online faculty positions to a host of different online college degree programs every day, is more than likely to be quite successful in building a full time online teaching portfolio. This is not to say that a traditional college adjunct couldn’t land a few online adjunct faculty positions because as more academic administrators realize the cost savings of using a computer server to meet the needs of new and returning college students, the more adjunct instructors willing to teach online will be needed by the schools. Make no mistake about it: the thousands of for-profit colleges, community colleges, state colleges and four-year universities will offer more online college courses in the coming years, and as a result these schools will save even more of the money that went to maintain the physical plant in the past.
The best approach to finding online adjunct job openings is to visit the websites of the various schools. On the front page of the site will be a link that will lead to the section of the site that allows the submission of the required academic credentials. Increasingly, there will be much more information about the various online degree programs in the faculty application section since the schools will actually need academically and technically qualified individuals to teaching growing numbers of online college classes.

Adjunct Teaching Jobs Online – Negotiating the Academy
Many teachers today are realizing that the traditional academic employment situation requires razor sharp negotiating skills. For example, any educational institution that depends on state revenue for budgetary funds is currently being squeezed in a merciless fashion. This mean that the money required to pay secondary or post-secondary instructors a decent wage is simply not available to administrators. Further, what funds are accessible must be directed to the high costs associated with maintain large physical buildings and campuses. The end result of this economic configuration for the teachers is that it is now necessary to take a hard look at the employment opportunities offered by adjunct teaching jobs online.
An individual with an earned graduate degree, a Ph.D. or master’s degree, can add multiple online adjunct jobs to a teaching portfolio. The way to start investigating the online adjunct income streams that can be earned from teaching online college courses is to use a personal computer to access the websites of the over five thousand state colleges, four-year universities and for-profit colleges.
The for-profit colleges have successfully developed distance education technology to offer their students the chance to earn an online college degree for at least the last ten to twelve years. Now, the traditional post-secondary schools are trying to catch up by deploying their own degree programs, both undergraduate and graduate, at an ever increasing rate.
Of course, each online college class needs a academically qualified and technically savvy online adjunct instructor to teach it, and those online adjunct professor positions will increase as a result. As more post-secondary students enroll in online programs in order to earn their college degrees online, the more need there will be for online college teachers. Since all of the academic course work that occurs between online adjunct professors and college students taking online courses occurs on the Internet, it is possible for an online college professor to teach for online degree programs from almost any spot where access to the online courses is available.
Of course, it will take some time, perhaps as much as a year, to acquire six to eight online college classes simply because more academics are starting to apply for online adjunct college teaching jobs and the schools themselves are just now moving to a digital platform for many of their academic programs. However, the process of employment distance education technology is accelerating every day. The point is that online college teaching jobs are an excellent way for a person with an earned graduate degree to increase teaching income or to completely replace the ever-diminishing teaching income being earned by continuing to teach on a physical community college campus or in a high school.

Online College Teaching Jobs are the Future of Post Secondary Education
Educators are starting to wake up to the budget cuts at traditional academic institutions. Colleges and universities are disposing of college teachers at an alarming rate. Some four-year state colleges are instituting twenty five percent budget cuts that will result in the dismissal of all part-time instructors. However, on the positive side of all this doom and gloom are the benefits of distance education technology producing online college teaching jobs. The emergence and acceptance of online bachelor degree programs and online masters degree programs are making the online adjunct instructor the future of post-secondary education. That is a very bold statement on its face, but it is becoming more apparent every day that higher education simply will not support tenure-track professors and the many benefits afforded them and it is even more apparent that tenured faculty members are less attractive every day due to the long-tem costs they represent to the college administration.
As the schools are less able to afford to hire full time faculty members, the more important individuals with graduate degrees and the technical ability to successfully navigate an online degree program and efficiently accomplish all the teaching tasks required by online college courses will become to them because the student populations will not go down over that time. As a result of ravaged traditional faculty positions, the schools will be happy to work with the online adjunct instructor who has learned the all important lesson of how to transform into an academic entrepreneur.
As the academic entrepreneur demonstrates the ability to teach eight to ten online college courses one time and learns that those academic coordination skills, time management and technical expertise, are at a premium due to the relatively small number of educators with them, the more efficient the negotiations with the online college degree programs will become over time. The upshot of informed interaction with schools that offer their students the chance to earn an online business management degree, a communications degree or an online finance degree is the ability to teach at any geographic location, multiple income streams arriving as often as once a week and a concrete sense of control over one’s economic future.
In the past, traditional college adjunct were trapped, so to speak, in one geographic area because they had to be able to reach the next physical college campus by driving a personal vehicle. If the college adjunct lived in a less populated part of the country it was only possible to teach college students for one or two community colleges or state-colleges. Today, the emerging system of online college programs combined with inexpensive computers capable of wireless access of the Internet is developing an incredible career path for individuals with graduate degrees and a clear idea of how to take advantage of online degree programs as independent online adjunct instructors.
The best way to start searching for online adjunct employment opportunities is to visit the websites of the over five thousand technical schools, community colleges, state colleges and for profit schools and follow the link on the front page to the faculty application portal.

The Adventurous Intellectual Seeks Online University Teaching Jobs
Just because an intellectual has a graduate degree and teaches traditional college classes on an adjunct basis isn’t any reason he or she can’t be adventurous and search for online university teaching jobs. Online bachelor degree programs and online masters degree programs are in need of academically qualified intellectuals who also can use a computer. In fact, the schools are overwhelmed by a student population that actually prefers to take online college courses instead of attend a physical class. Granted, it does take some discipline and determination to acquire three or four online classes, but once they are underway the teaching online for online degree programs quickly become a very interesting proposition.

Imagine being able to earn multiple paychecks from various college and universities not remotely near your physical location, and, further, being able to pack up your inexpensive laptop and go to another city or town in another state or country. You have to admit that compared to teaching students in a drafty physical classroom with poor lighting and dirty windows (if there are any windows) this alternative offered by online adjunct faculty positions is definitely adventurous.
Traditional post secondary institutions such as community colleges, state-colleges and four-year universities are suffering from slashed budgets, and they are actively deploying more and more online college degree programs every day because they are much more cost effective than physical college campuses. Plus, student populations are going up not down, and this is especially true for developmental and introductory college courses. Each and every online college course offered academic programs that confer accredited online university degrees must, not needs, an academically qualified online instructor teaching it.
Ultimately, these conditions, less budget money, more students demanding a college education and the mandate of accreditation boards concerning the academic credentials of the online adjunct instructors, congeal to make the market for online adjunct jobs very attractive to the person with an earned graduate degree. The implementation of distance education technology is in it youth at this point in time, but with each passing day more and more college and universities will avail themselves of its beneficial features.
The best way to discover the possibilities of online adjunct teaching is to start visiting the websites of the thousands of post-secondary academic institutions and navigating to the faculty application section.

Cultivate the Habit of Searching for Online Adjunct Faculty Positions
Individuals with earned graduate degrees should cultivate the habit of searching of online adjunct faculty positions because they represent a growing career are in the new economy. In many cases, it is painfully obvious that the economy is convulsing in confusing way and that there will emerge from the ruins of many industries a phoenix or two that are definitely worth an educated person’s attention. Online bachelor degree programs and online master degree programs represent one of area of growth that is revealing itself with each passing day as a way to recoup one’s fortune and position. Post-secondary academic institutions are rushing to implement online college degree programs in order to meet the swelling student populations composed primary of non-traditional college students. These students usually have considerable family and employment issues and responsibilities that can interfere with their regular attendance of traditional college classes. The prospect of earning a health administration degree online, an electrical engineering bachelor degree online or an online masters degree in education from their personal computers at home is quite attractive.
For any university or college, or any for-profit academic institution for that matter, accreditation is an extremely important issue, and the accreditation boards currently insist that the faculty members of online college degree programs have graduate degrees. This insistence on academic credentials is creating a large demand for online adjunct teachers since the schools are actively turning to online degree programs in order to affordably meet the educational demands of new and returning college students.
However, since distance education technology continues to develop every day it is important to have a well developed search strategy for online adjunct jobs. Some colleges and universities are just now realizing that they need to deploy online programs, and as they frantically try to put online college classes into their core curriculum, they will be slow to hire individuals to teach the online classes. In fact, being hired to teach students earning online college degrees may take several applications. The effort will be worth it, but it is important to keep in mind that teaching online is an emerging profession that naturally has a built in lag in terms of recognition by academic bureaucrats.
The best approach to the cultivation of online adjunct faculty positions is to set up a spread sheet and log each and every application for online adjunct jobs you make over a year’s time. If you haven’t received an invitation to attend the mandatory online training sessions that must be completed before being placed into an online class within a month’s time simply re-submit your academic credentials and move onto the next college degree program in your list. The most productive method to acquire online adjunct faculty positions with online bachelor degree programs is to constantly apply for them. That may sound basic and simple, but it works in the same way that constant advertising works in that sooner or later someone will make a purchase. In the case of online teaching, sooner or later a college or university with online college classes needing an online adjunct instructor teaching it will turn up.

Give Your Teaching Momentum with Online Adjunct Professor Positions
Most teachers really like to teach despite the problems surrounding the profession right now, and one of the biggest problems is income. Not being sure about having an income or having one’s current income reduced or eliminated completely can drive a teacher to distraction or worse. It doesn’t have to be this way, however, and distance education technology is the tool that can permit individuals with earned graduate degrees, a Ph.D. or a master’s degree, to add momentum to their teaching schedules with online adjunct professor positions. A large portion of the new and returning college students currently swelling student populations are termed non-traditional college students.
These students have many family and employment obligations that often interfere with class schedules, and this is especially true if the non-traditional students have to drive a personal vehicle to a remote location such as a college campus on the edge of the community at odd hours of the day and night in order to attend a lecture or take a test. These students appreciate the opportunity to earn an online masters degree or bachelors degree online from their computers at home. As every college teacher knows, every accredited college class must be lead by a academically qualified instructor, and online college courses are no different in this regard since the online classes are part of accredited online college degree programs.
These seeming isolated circumstances can work together to the benefit of teachers with earned graduate degree because they mean that the community colleges, state-colleges, four-year universities and for-profit schools that confer an online degree need people with the appropriate academic credentials and the technical know-how to teach the growing numbers of online classes that lead to an online social work degree, a health administration degree online or an online psychology degree. Simply put, colleges and universities that are promoting online college degree programs do not have as many online adjunct instructors as they need now, and the shortage will only grow greater in the future because student populations will continue to grow at a rapid pace.
As a result of this shortage of adept online college teachers, an individual already teaching college classes at a traditional post-secondary institution can propel his or her teaching career by acquiring online adjunct jobs. Teaching online for schools that offer fully accredited online degrees can produce a nice additional income even if the college instructor only teach two or three online college courses at a time. For example, many for-profit schools online offer online classes that run only six week, and there are many that offer the eleven-week quarter online classes to their students. Additionally, these shorter classes are offered to students throughout the year, so there is no dreaded summer break that leaves so many traditional college adjuncts without an income for almost three months.
A year-long way of earning money from teaching multiple online college classes will certainly energize the flagging enthusiasm of any college adjunct instructor, and after a period of time during which a decent living is made from an inexpensive laptop access the Internet from practically any geographic location, the person with an earned graduate degree may decided that enough online faculty positions actually constitute a new teaching career.

The Art of Finding Online Teaching Positions
There is an art to finding online teaching positions in that the search for online adjunct jobs and the online college programs that provide them require a sort of second sense that can only be developed over time and with a lot of experience, but there is also what should pass as a somewhat scientific approach to this process in that online adjunct professor jobs with online college degree programs require the presence of several specific items. First and foremost, an online adjunct instructor must have an earned graduate degree, which is a master’s degree or a Ph.D. from an accredited college or university. The reason for this is that any school that offers an online university degree must fulfill the accreditation boards’ requirements concerning the academic achievements of the online faulty.
Further, the academic qualifications of each online adjunct teaching position for a post-secondary institution that offers its students an elementary education degree online, an online counseling degree or an engineering degree online must be verifiable by the accreditation boards in order for the schools to offer their students federal economic assistance to pay for tuition, fees and books. This particular educational requirement to secure online teaching positions is actually to the benefit of those looking for a chance to become and online teacher since it greatly reduces the number of legitimate applicants, and thus the competition, at online bachelor degree programs.
Along with the academic credentials there is also a need for a fairly high level of technical ability. After all, online adjunct instructors teach online, and there is no one interface or platform for every college or university. This means that if a person wants to teach online for a variety of online university programs, he or she must be prepared to successful navigate three or four different online interfaces, each with their own quirks and peculiarities. Oddly enough, it may be that these different interfaces are where art and science come together because the same circumstances apply to finding these online adjunct jobs. Almost every community college, college, university and for-profit school has its own way of accepting application materials from prospective online adjuncts. In some cases, the school will only require an e-mail containing a cover letter and resume in the body.
Other schools require that the applicant sign up for a database that can be visited and updated at will. In many instances, the complexity of the application process will provide clues as to the temperament of the administration, and after making several thousand applications to online degree programs a teacher or prospective college teacher can intuit the potential of the individual school just from the composition of the application section of the school’s website.
Ultimately, the art of finding online teaching positions with accredited online degree programs is an amalgamation of art and science dovetailing into an intuition that will act as a guide to finding multiple online college courses to teach. While this may seem a tremendous amount of effort to expend in the pursuit of a fledging career, there can be no doubt now that distance education as it is applied to online bachelor degree programs and online master degree programs is quickly becoming the mainstay for current college teachers and for those who wish to become college teachers.
Further, the academic qualifications of each online adjunct teaching position for a post-secondary institution that offers its students an elementary education degree online, an online counseling degree or an engineering degree online must be verifiable by the accreditation boards in order for the schools to offer their students federal economic assistance to pay for tuition, fees and books. This particular educational requirement to secure online teaching positions is actually to the benefit of those looking for a chance to become and online teacher since it greatly reduces the number of legitimate applicants, and thus the competition, at online bachelor degree programs.

Cash From Online College Teaching Jobs
If you are an adjunct college instructor, the chances are pretty good that you are struggling with your bills, so why not take the time to start applying for the numerous online college teaching jobs and earn a decent income? With all of the state-level budget cuts to post secondary academic institutions, most adjuncts are finding that their traditional classes contain more and more students without a corresponding increase in the amount being paid by the traditional schools to teach the additional students. The result is that a college teacher is having a difficult time paying the bills, and if a college adjunct is forced by geographic demands to travel by personal vehicle to multiple traditional campuses to teach enough classes to actually pay for the maintenance of the car or truck, then the economic problem is increased to an almost unsupportable level.
The solution, as suggested at the beginning of this post, is to confront the realities of the academic landscape and start applying to accredited online degree programs immediately in order to teach students enrolled in the various online college degree programs. The new and returning college students are in need of teachers with earned master’s degrees in core curriculum subjects, which include Developmental English composition, history and psychology. Needless to say, the student populations are soaring in these classes because every college student has to take these classes as they matriculate to an online bachelor degree. It is these core classes that make up the real market for any college adjunct seeking to earn a living wage from online adjunct faculty positions with a distance education university.
Granted, as a current adjunct you already know that student populations are skyrocketing because of the unemployment crisis, but you may not know that there is a way for you to actually transform yourself from a low paid academic laborer into a well paid academic entrepreneur. For example, if you earned a graduate degree or a terminal degree, you have a skill set that is in high demand. After all, the community colleges, state colleges and universities and for-profit schools need accreditation from the various accreditation boards in order to offer their students federal financial aid. In order to be accredited, the schools must have qualified instructors in their classrooms, both on-ground and on line. That’s where you, the online adjunct, come in and help both the students and the academic institutions.
However, no matter how much you help both parties, you will still be stuck in a low paid position, which means you will be marginalized for even having a graduate degree, unless you figure out how to teach multiple on line college courses for multiple online degree programs. If you can teach yourself how to find and apply for many online college teaching jobs, you can earn cash from each one simply by teaching the basic courses from your personal computer. Imagine how much better your personal life can be with multiple income streams, which is entirely possible if you start applying to teach for online bachelor degree programs.
