Has anyone successfully made the transition from the corporate world to academia (college level)? Can you describe your experience? Can you please provide your thoughts on the following?
? Are you full-time or a part-time adjunct faculty member? What are some of the advantages and disadvantages of either?
? How did you go about making the transition?
? What was your motivation for making this career move?
? What advice would you give someone considering this career move? How would a newbie go about getting the experience necessary to land their first teaching position?
? What academic credentials are necessary? (PhD or Masters)
? Any other thoughts that you care to share.
Thanks in advance for your thoughts!
