Dear Tipsters,
These facts may be friendly to people looking for part-time work but they
surely do not look that way to young professors seeking tenure-stream
appointments.
Sincerely,
Stuart

Subject: [tips] Want A "GREAT" Part-Time Job When You Retire?
>From Finance.yahoo.com, an article that originally comes from the MarketWatch
>website titled
"6 Best Part-Time Jobs for Retirees":
|Adjunct professor
|
|There are more jobs than ever for non-tenure track, or adjunct,
|professors. In 1969, just 21.7% of college faculty were adjuncts; now
|more than two-thirds are -- and you don't always need a Ph.D. to get
|these positions. In fact, retirees' decades of workplace experience can
|lend itself well to the position of adjunct professor. While the pay
|for these jobs is mediocre (the median, per-course pay for part-time
|faculty is just $2,700, according to a study by the Coalition on the
|Academic Workforce), Lauren Griffin, a senior vice president with
|Adecco Staffing, notes that many retirees will find this kind of work
|rewarding. Plus, the hours you're required to be on campus are
|typically few, and once you've taught a course once or twice, your
|workload will decrease as you don't have to spend quite as much time
|developing the materials. To get this job, look at the career section
|of the websites of universities in your area; now that online education
|is becoming much more popular, you may also want to explore that
|avenue.

Who knew you could make that phat cash so easily! I guess there's nothing to
teaching and interacting with students (and your colleagues and the
administration and ....) that one's life experience hasn't prepared on for.
Oh, retirees don't need those expensive benefits! For example, quoting from
the article:
|And because retirees often don't need health care thanks to Medicare,
|part-time and project-based jobs, which don't tend to have health
|benefits associated with them, have an appeal to this group that they
|won't for many other groups.
And since they're retired, schools don't have to kick in for retirement plans!
It's a Win-Win all around! ;-)
Run for the shadows in these golden years.
