Teaching in a public school as an ESL teacher with a Bachelors Degree + teaching cert. and ESL cert will earn anywhere from 27K to 40k depending on the district.

Teaching at a county college as an adjunct will earn about $600 per credit (approx. $1,800 a course), but you will need a Masters Degree.

I’m still working in the public schools, teaching German. I’ve also worked on and off as an adjunct English comp instructor at a local CC.

To find a full-time CC position has proven *very* difficult. My classmates have similar stories… most of us have stayed with the K-12 schools we started out with. My classmates who didn’t already have a K-12 job are unemployed, or working for near-minimum wage at writing/reading labs. A few work adjunct positions, which don’t pay a living wage, either.
