Unless you find a much less expensive PhD program, you’re really stuck. Even if you get the PhD, is there any promise that you WILL get the full-time position? When my M-I-L retired from her CC faculty position, she was replaced with three part-time instructors, all of whom had PhDs in the subject, and all of whom were trying to cobble together a barely living wage with no benefits when they were paid on the order of $3500 per course taught at the college. Some were commuting between three campuses a week to try and put together a six course teaching load.
