Current Events > I might take an adjunct position for a semester

(+) Yeah! (+)

Someone reached out, it would be for a course called psychology as a natural science.

Usually wouldn't consider it, but I think it might be smart to get a recent letter that can talk about my teaching experience, since i'll be on the job market soon (should already be, but that's another story). My current boss might be a dick about it though.

Boss the Zerg!

Good luck. I hated the insecurity, but recently (post pandemic) started considering it as a side hustle.

cool, i just did that

I was thinking about that too, but then I started thinking about gum flavors like peanut butter or even chicken

Me too

Yeah, there's a lot of good reasons to not adjunct, I just worry that my last set of teaching evaluations were from 2017 I think, so if I apply to a teaching heavy job it'll be harder to sell myself. I did love teaching, so this might also be a good opportunity to dip my feet back in and see if I really want to pursue a teaching position.

sorry

Well again, hope it works out. My thing is that if I'm adjuncting, I'd like to be at least year to year. Semester to semester, or even worse quarterly is not the kind of situation I want at this stage.
