    I teach for three different universities here in the states as well as working full time in an Agency - you'll never live on a teacher salary...I do it because it's waaaay more satisfying than my agency

    They won't look at you without a Masters Degree in Graphic Design or discipline directly related to what you are teaching.

    Yes...it's a lot of hours outside of class getting prepared....in the beginning, but soon you have your materials and projects built and it becomes less prep time.

    Don't do it for extra scratch...it's not worth it, don't do it because you can't get an agency job...the students will know you suck....only do it if love it or get satisfaction from the free exploration of design and exchange of ideas with students.

    • I should point out that my last employer paid for my Masters degree in full or doubtless I would have done it...no debt for me thanks.marychain
    • me thanks.marychain
    • would *NOT* have done it....jesusmarychain
