[quote=Anonymous]OP here. As I said, I'm kind of naive about this! And relatively new to DC: came here for the aforementioned political appointee job, ended up changing universities when that ends b/c I liked there, kids were settled, marriage to ex-hubby in another city had ended, etc. So please, no snark: DC natives may know this stuff by osmosis but I was absent the day they explained how to do DC networking. I think I have friends... I'm not sure I know what it is to "network."

Unfortunately, the university where I teach does not pay for my kids to go to college. It gives some money but it will likely end up being less than a fourth of the cost. And like many people around here, I earn much too little for the cost of private colleges to be no big deal and much too much to qualify for need-based aid. Maybe my kids will get merit scholarships but not counting on it.

I dont want to sell my soul to the devil, just make some extra money. And I don't want to give up tenure, just work either part time or while taking a couple of years of unpaid leave, which is pretty easy to do.

Thanks 15:29-- your advice makes sense. But still wondering: is this something where a headhunter could help? If so suggestions of headhunting firms? And does Linked In reay help? Like everyone else in the work I have a basic profile and a million "connections" but just the free version. How do you let it be known you are interested in money-making opportunities? Do you just apply for listed jobs?[/quote]
