Lifelong Learner Seeking Online Teaching Position

I never planned to use my blog to search for work, but I am getting frustrated. I work full-time as an instructional designer at a community college in Texas, and the job pays pretty well, but I need extra income. Ten years ago my company downsized and I lost the job I had for 30 years. For 20 years I made big sacrifices to save for my retirement, but suddenly I had to start all over and all that money is long gone. For the past 10 years I have worked seven days a week to improve my education and job skills and I have earned two more college degrees and I am more than half- finished with a certificate in distance education from the University of Wisconsin- Madison.

My education at a glance:
- AAS Business Computer Information Systems
- BBA General Business
- MBA - No Specialty
- M.Ed. Education/Instructional Technology
- Certificate in Distance Education - Should complete Spring 2007
- Working toward webmaster certificate

If I can secure an online teaching position, I plan to begin work on a Masters in Psychology next year. If I ever earn that degree, someday I hope to earn my Ph.D. in either cognitive psychology or cognitive science.

For the past eight years I taught computer classes at the college where I work. I have taught classes in web design, business computer information systems, and introductory computer classes. We got into trouble with our accrediation board and now I am only allowed to teach non-transfer computer classes. My school was only letting me teach one class, and this Fall they let that course expire. Now, I am not teaching. It seems that my two masters degrees do not qualify me to teach anything at my community college. The school doesn't need any adjuncts to teach business classes, except in international business, and I am not qualified to teach those classes.

I have been to the websites of several online universities, but only one of them had any part-time jobs I could apply for. I wanted to post this blog in case it could lead to something. You can read my resume at my website, which is at www.austincc.edu/jdclark.
