This week, I have a delightful dilemma. There are two potential adjunct opportunities in front of me.
Next Monday, I’ll be interviewing for an adjunct psychology position with a local business school. I found out that their adjunct faculty teach day, evening, and weekend classes, at three different campuses.
Not knowing which class I would be teaching, or at which location, makes it difficult to plan my schedule. I intend to keep seeing residents at two nursing homes.
Yesterday, I received a phone call, regarding my potential interest in teaching Abnormal Psychology at a local community college. I was recommended for this position by a former professor of this same college.
I’d face a somewhat lengthy commute with accepting either of these teaching opportunities. Nevertheless, I really do enjoy teaching.
I’d much prefer to teach Abnormal Psychology again, as opposed to teaching Introductory Psychology. I found the subject matter to be particularly interesting to present.
We’ll see what happens with these new opportunities. I’m very thankful for these new opportunities.
If money is not an issue, I would tend to not overdo. A farther but more predictable commute and load seems better. As is teaching what you prefer. I am a retired prof so I know whereof I speak :). Your plate is so full already.
