[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Even if the money's not great, there are sometimes some tax advantages. Teach a couple of courses online from home and deduct your home office. Go to a conference and deduct that too. Buy a new computer. Deduct your internet, etc. Call your students and deduct your phone.[/quote] I'm an adjunct for a state univ. As others have stated, you can't do it for the money. I've been doing this for 5 years. I teach the same classes so I no longer need to prep. I make $4k per class now and can teach 6 classes a year so that's $24k. My real tax benefit is access to the univ 457B retirement plan. I can park $18.5 of my 24k in a pre tax retirement account. This is in addition to the $18.5 I can stick in my 401k at my main job. I didn't know if this perk when I started but it by far the best benefit.[/quote]
