I emailed my curriculum vitae (CV) to various academic institutions to teach college composition. Once I received an adjunct position, I used that experience to teach at other schools.

 

My BFA is in writing, and my MFA is in Poetics 

 

The good thing about my job is that I get the satisfaction of helping others everyday with language. Primarily, I am an ESL teacher, so I enjoy helping students understand grammar, vocabulary, and sentence structure. 

 

In a typical day, I teach about 3-4 classes. These classes focus on listening, speaking, reading, and writing in English. I also spend time grading and lesson planning! For most teachers, they don't get paid to grade or lesson plan! 

 

 

Salary is a tricky question. For adjuncts, they do not get a salary; they work semester-to-semester (based on class availability) and often teach at multiple institutions!  If an adjunct teaches five classes, he or she can make decent money; however, much of that money goes towards things NOT given to adjuncts (like health benefits, retirement, etc.) Also, summertime is hard for adjunct instructors, as school is not in session. Therefore, it is hard to gauge what an adjunct instructor typically makes per year. 

 

The demand in my field is HUGE. Many adjuncts want a full time position, so hundreds of teachers apply for one opening. It's very competitive.

 

I have been a teacher for ten years.

 

I suppose the top job would be a full time (tenured) position, which guarantees health benefits, retirement, and so on. When a professor becomes tenured, he or she has that position for the rest of his or her life.
