    I love this! I recently became an adjunct and trying to pivot. I feel under the allure of prestige in academia and art musuems. I was met with disslusionment and unlike the gatekeepers who have trust funds and partners, I have neither. I regret taking this job, but given the economy and how rigid/biased employers are, I could not afford a resume gap and moved back home. I also rejected a curator job, becuase the pay was unlivable at $40k. This part time gig became a full time gig, while I’m being sent to teach dual (high school) kids in rural settings. I was met with disillusionment, with my art history and fashion background. I was this close to pivoting with a remote job as a grants writer, the salary was very doable with benefits. I find academia to be very stifling, conservative, and dusty. Many of my colleagues have full time jobs at high school that pay them $60k a year and the adjuncting is supplement for ego, visibility, and credibility. I’ve been underemployed ever since I graduated grad school, I’m 31 and and feel stuck/hopless. Pivoting, pivoting, pivoting. Prestige and romantic theories are nothing for me. I love your channel because many academics do not disclose these harsh realities, instead were met with unwritten rules, gatekeepers, and secret agendas. :/ I want to quit lol.

      The language isn't the biggest problem you'll have to face - what is your educational background? have you taught before? does the college/university offer a course in your topic? and do they need someone to adunct? The best way to discover answers to these questions is to look at the current course offerings at a college/university - is your field on there? have you taught any of these courses? do they hire adjuncts? Discover those answers and you'll know if they might want someone like you... and be sure to talk to the department chair as far in advance as possible.

      Yes! Start at a community college, make sure you have some demonstrable experience (maybe a certification is the community college utilizes certs). Look at current course offerings. Find out who the department chair is (dept. chairs do the adjunct hiring usually). Contact the chair well in advance of the semester's planning - 9 months is the average, some work ahead 1 year!

    Thanks to AI, a take-home exam is now a complete joke. It's not skills-based, when all someone has to do is take a photo of the exam, and the computer generates the entire solution with no intellectual input from the student. That is, unless you can out-wit the AI when writing the exam, and write an exam that only a human can pass.

      Good luck doing this with something like coding. As a Computer Science Instructor we always try to give these "thought provoking and application" style exams, however CGPT and it's ilk means that this is impossible and we have moved more and more of our points to in class exams because students cheat on homework which is this style of exam in our case. But, most fail to even be able to code simple problems.
