[quote=Anonymous]I will echo the need to adjunct to get experience/foot in the door. Become known as a desired professor among students who is fair, accessible, brings in real-life situations to the classroom, and actually teaches subject matter well.

Then, look at where you are applying. Community colleges, online/nontraditional colleges (like UMGC), and teaching focused smaller colleges would be more likely to hire you, and you wouldn't be required to publish/research to keep you job.

If you work at a for-profit college and are not also adjuncting at a non-profit, there is a good chance you will never be considered for a non-profit position later. The for-profits are renown for grad inflation, customer service rather than education, and lower academic standards (even when they are regionally accredited). That being said, there is a reason and purpose for schools like University of Phoenix and Strayer, so as long as you are comfortable staying there, it would give you an in. [/quote]
