>Non-tenure track academic teaching positions that pay "horribly"... I can already imagine the kind of talent they attract.
Honestly, as a former CC student, non-TT professors/lectures at the junior level were some amazing teachers. While they may only have a masters in their field, most of them are taking these jobs out of enjoyment as secondary income or after retirement.
Examples: One psych prof is a clinical child psychologist, teaches PT, highest evals in the dept.
Other psych prof, retired psychologist, head of CHARGE research, drove 45 minutes to teach PT
Social work prof, 20+ year professional, teaches PT, was a complete savior to her students.
Eng prof, trans, former Navy, journalist, taught PT.
Chem prof, retired, works at a local grocery store stocking fruit PT, lectures PT
