| question/thoughts...
I recently posted on another forum asking about some advice and I feel that I was treated very badly by some of the regular members on there.
I told them that I would like to eventually teach at the CC level and am currently working on completely my online MA degree with an eye towards furthering my studies at the PhD level. Currently, I teach at a CC outside of the United States and because of financial constraints, it does not seem likely that I will be able to attend a regular B & M university to do my PhD.
My question to all members for all member is... am I simply delusional in thinking that CC in the United States of America will recognize online degrees when it comes to hiring instructors? The other forum make it seem that the only people who get jobs at CC's are people who have done their PhD's in a regular B & M setting and somehow I find that difficult to believe. While I know my chances will be greatly improved if I attend a regular B & M institution, financially it seems impossible for me to do...
Is there anyone who can please shed some honest light on this... If online degrees do not lead to employment, why are people taking them other than for personal reasons? There must be some people out there who work at CC's in the United States who have received their MA's from regionally accredited online institutions? No ?
