[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is your goal here?  Do you want to augment your regular work by being able to work with undergrad students because you enjoy teaching and make a few bucks on the side?  Or are you looking to do it full-time instead of a different job?

Because the first is very doable and some universities pay okay per course (Georgetown, for example).  The second is a very difficult life -- low pay, insecure, and low status. 15:14 is right.[/quote]

What does georgetown typically pay? I was offered a position for a two credit course and the pay was only 2500.[/quote]It varies but roughly $6500 for a 3 credit course, which is higher than most for the DC area. Was that a Continuing Ed course you were offered?[/quote]

No this was for the law school. Two credits. 13 classes, 2 hours each plus papers to grade. I've heard Continuing Studies pays better. 6500 for a three credit course - that's a lot more than the 2500 I was offered for two credits.[/quote]

Georgetown pays the WORST.  My DH has taught at all the law schools in town, and Georgetown was the lowest of all.  $1500 for a super high-powered/high level tax law class.  Obviously not done for the money (huge time commitment and I think he was in the red. . . . after paying for taxis home at night . . . . )[/quote]
