Since we are talking about job opportunities, how about job opportunities
for people who are just about to retire from their first job? I am in my
early 60s and I am seriously considering retiring from where I am now
teaching and moving on to teach somewhere outside my state for at least 5
more years.
Luisiana state colleges and universities opted out of the U.S. Social
Security System and so when I accepted my current job years ago,
contributions to my account ceased. I already put in 20 quarters and so I am
looking for some place to supply the remaining 20.
I have published in refereed journals and I currently hold an endowed
professorship. My research intrests include economics of the learning
production process, insurance economics and economic development of
indigenous societies. If you know of an appropriate opening, kindly email me
at Bacdayan@nsula.edu.
Thanks.

Subject: Re: Teaching Community College with A Masters Degree
I am tenured in economics at City College of San Francisco, and we recently
advertised a tenure-track position. I have a master's degree myself (didn't
finish Ph.D. program at Berkeley). Of course, it depends on the
institution,
but our focus here is on teaching ability and experience, especially at the
community college level. We are looking for people who are most skilled at
reaching the very diverse students we have here. There are not "serious
advantages" to having a Ph.D., either to get a job here or to do the job.
What is more useful is being a creative, committed instructor. We have
created a few elective courses in specialized areas, but most of the
teaching
is meeting students' general ed. requirements in principles and intro stat
(heavily business majors, but a nice sprinkling of econ and other majors).
We
have an active economics club that attracts students from a variety of
backgrounds -- one of the rewards is that students often have a lot of
genuine
interest in the economy.
