There is one thing that I absolutely enjoy doing, and that is teaching (TA'ing for my profs). I can see myself doing this for long periods of time. I however would not pursue a ph.d because i am not interested in research so much. If i could get an MA and then teach at a CC, i would be happy.
I hear that the only way to make enough money at a CC is being full time and tenured. My first question is what type of MA should i earn if i want to get hired at a CC (ie. does it make more sense to get a research or I/O MA over an MA in counseling?)?
My second question is, how difficult is it to get hired as a full time instructor at a CC, and is the pay sufficient? I live in California and plan on staying here, or possibly living in portland for a while. I really just like teaching! I dont mind research, but i dont want to pursue it as a career.
