[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get an adjunct job for evenings at a local college. It’s not a great salary, but it’s very flexible and you can do it after your partner returns from work or while the kids are in preschool. Do that until they are all in school and then move to full time work.[/quote]

That pays next to nothing, and OP probably isn’t qualified anyway. [/quote]

Not a great salary, but the adjuncts i know make anywhere from $35-50/ hour with part time evening hours. Establishing a tutoring business takes time. Plus people want hours from 3-6 for tutoring snd she’ll have to hire a babysitter. She either needs to go back to work full time though, prob as a teacher.[/quote]

Even if she can get $35 (since she doesn’t appear to have any adjunct teaching experience), if she gets two course sections that’s likely 6 hours a week, so about $210 a week pre-tax. [/quote]

Do you know how much grading and prep there is? She would make more at Starbucks hourly. [/quote]

1. Montgomery College adjuncts are union. A three credit course pays about $4000 over the course of the semester. I think a semester is 14 weeks. Two courses would be $8K for the spring. That's certainly enough for the window repair.

2. There are often noncredit classes at most community colleges that do not have grading and have very little prep.

3. You might make more working at Starbucks, but if she has to pay childcare when the manager changes her shift, what does she do then? How does she manage drop-off and pick-up? How many managers do you know will schedule a Starbucks employee for the 10am - 12 pm slot only while their kid is at preschool? Also most community colleges now have online classes you can teach from home. [/quote]

I was an adjunct. You do not understand the amount of time teaching takes: it is not just the hours of the class. Teaching online is more difficult than in person. I have broken it down hourly and a barista is paid more. [/quote]

I was and I still am an adjunct. I definitely understand the challenges plus the flexibility. [/quote]
