Talking more like subject matter experts with tons of industry experience. Not so much the college, grad school, grad asst professor natural roles and progression, but someone that guest teaches a class or two a semester in a specific subject etc.

I’m in banking/finance and put together the formal training program for my work, and I’m like this is BS, I should take this and monetize it somehow. Just not sure how to do it.

The online models out there seem to be saturated with stuff (mostly non real world BS in my opinion) but it’s hard for people to sift through.

I teach adjunct online for a 4-year and 2-year. Personal finance and Money & Banking. You will need an MBA with at least 18 hours in the concentration. Absolutely love it.

Have all that. How did you find the opportunity? Just wondering what the steps are to begin. Is it literally searching it on the colleges websites and whatnot.

And assuming you work full time too?

If you are talking about teaching an entire course a couple times a semester or over the summer, that would be an adjunct professor/instructor. Usually, colleges have a list of adjunct professor they use, and they rotate through them. Your best bet is to have contacts in the college you are interested in being an adjunct for. But you can find these jobs advertised online sometimes.

If you were talking about guest lecturing a class or two for a course (meaning you aren't the course instructor/professor, just a guest lecturer for a lecture or two), I don't know of anywhere that would pay you for that. Lots of colleges will let you come in have some class time, but once again, you typically have to know the professor of the course in order to do that.

Thanks. Looking more at a regular (part time) perm type teaching position, teaching finance, banking, etc. Not just guest lecturing.

The 2-year I picked up when I was working full time at the institution before moving on to another opportunity. The 4-year opportunity came out of nowhere from an individual that was Department Head and use to work with my dad years ago in Higher Ed and knew my background (academically and professionally). And yes, I have a full-time job, but the 2 adjunct positions and course loads are my “side hustles”.

Adjunct positions are usually posted on the institution’s website. Most courses now are 8 week sessions (twice a semester). Rare to have a true 16-week course, but depending on the content and # of enrolled students, it could be 16 weeks rather than condensed.
