Undoubtedly, the academic labor market is brutal right now and there doesn’t seem to be any indication that there will be any return to that that golden period when educators with graduate degrees, a master’s degree or Ph.D., could depend on employment in a physical classroom. There is, however, a viable alternative to being unemployed with a graduate degree, but that alternative requires understanding that vast majority of the employment for academics is now located on the Internet with online bachelor degree programs and online master degree programs. While many academics do not want to contemplate teaching from a personal computer there is little choice since administrators have reached the unavoidable conclusion that it is much cheaper to distribute educational instruction from a computer server than it is to have it delivered in a physical college or university classroom. In fact, any educator that wants to continue earning what could be considered a decent living from teaching needs to acquire the skills to apply for online faculty positions with community colleges, state colleges, technical schools, for-profit colleges and four-year universities. To not make the effort to learn how important distance education technology is now for the academic labor market is to not make the intellectual commitment to understand the economic future of teaching at the postsecondary level of the academy. Today’s college and university student actually wants to use his or her personal computer to enroll in online degree programs instead of having to spend a good portion of their day or night driving to and from a remote physical college or university campus. This makes good sense for the students and the administrators of the academic campuses. It should also make eminently good sense for academics that want and need a new direction for their careers as teachers.

The very best way to go about discovering a genuine online teaching opportunities now available at postsecondary academic institutions is to navigate the Internet to the websites of the thousands of schools that already half online college courses leading to an accredited online college degree available to their student populations. Of course, in order to do so it will be necessary 40 academic to master the use of a personal computer and learn how to navigate the Internet quickly and efficiently in order to access the faculty application sections of each school’s website. This can appear to be a daunting task at first, but so can the prospect of earning a graduate degree and for many educators today that task was accomplished despite the intellectual hurdles. Any teacher that already has a graduate degree in hand or any teacher that is willing to make the time and money commitment to earn a master’s degree can literally develop a full-time online teaching portfolio by making continual applications for online adjunct instructor positions. The future of post-secondary instruction is the increasing deployment by academic administrators of the accredited online college degree. The sooner an academic needing to supplement income from teaching, such as a traditional adjunct faculty member anchored at one college or university or to completely replace a lost teaching income as a result of massive layoffs, realizes that it is of paramount importance to investigate how to become an online adjunct instructor the sooner online adjunct income can be flowing in.

The career confusion caused by the current massive layoffs of academics at all levels of public education is understandable in that the pink slips were never supposed to arrive in such numbers. However, the situation is running its course and the result will undoubtedly be fewer public teaching careers finishing out their durations in the physical classrooms of community colleges, high schools, colleges and state universities. The flip side, so to speak, to this dubious situation, at least for the suffering academics, is to realize that the academic labor model is now irrevocably altered and that the new direction is to seize the career opportunities that result of learning how to teach for an online university. The distance education technology available to academic administrators at the post-secondary level of education makes is relatively easy to instigate many online bachelor degree programs and online masters degree programs and to distribute access to them to any college or university student that can use a personal computer to log onto the Internet. This ease of use means that there is less reason than ever to continue pouring academic budgetary funds, which are becoming less robust every passing day, in the maintenance of physical college and university classrooms. As a result, traditional adjunct college faculty members barely making a definable income by delivering post-secondary instruction on a traditional university or college campus and recently unemployed secondary educators with graduate degrees, a Ph.D. or masters degree, can and should learn how to teach online for an online university that offers online bachelor degree programs and online masters degree programs.

Of course, teaching online for just one post-secondary academic institution will not be enough, nor should it be enough, in this day and age of changing economic dynamics. The alert and aggressive academic will understand that employment as a post-secondary instructor is a moving target, and the successful prospective online adjunct instructor will recognize the market direction of higher education. For example, new and returning college, university and community college students are willing and eager to employ their personal computers and their knowledge of Internet navigation in order to earn online business degrees, an online mba degree or an accredited online accounting degree. Further, the prepared online adjunct instructor will easily know that administrators of colleges and universities cannot act as swiftly as their counterparts in for-profit colleges in the sense that bureaucratic hesitancy necessarily slows down any decision making process. This means that for-profit colleges, which offer enormous numbers of online college courses to their student populations, are an excellent source of online adjunct faculty positions, but also that the public colleges and universities are making great strides towards offering every conceivable area of post-secondary instruction in the form of an online bachelor degree and online masters degree. So, the potential for developing a full time online teaching schedule filled with six to ten, or more, online college courses lies in viewing post-secondary education as a whole industry rather than a fragmented, isolated area of potential employment for the intellectual with a graduate degree. The best search strategy for identifying online faculty positions with an online university is to visit the websites of the thousands of post-secondary institutions on the Internet. This may sound like too obvious a recommendation, but it is it is still not a daily part of many educators effort to build an online teaching portfolio.

To say that the academy is a fun place right now is a very long stretch.

The same applies to the online college instructor with an online teaching schedule populated with numerous online courses. For example, it would definitely be much more fun to interact with college student in an online academic discussion forum while sitting on the balcony of a hotel in a resort community than it would to lecture them in a poorly heated or cooled physical classroom. More to the point, it is much easier to acquire additional online classes to teach than it is traditional courses because it is not necessary to arrive on the traditional campus in order to teach for the online bachelor degree programs and online master’s degree programs. Taken point by point, being an online college instructor is much more fun and much more profitable, if such a word can be employed when speaking of post-secondary instruction, than remaining an unemployed academic.
