Add to
your retirement income by teaching
Many colleges and tech schools these days do not
require their instructors to have advanced college
degrees. They are looking for people who have
solid, real life experience in their fields.
In fact, many colleges advertise that students will
be taught by experienced instructors because that is
what their students want.

Technical and trade skills
instructors are in demand
Advertising that their instructors have
real practical experience is the hallmark of
the increasing number of trade, tech and
health care training schools.
If your skill set matches their needs
they would like to talk with you about
joining their faculty. You will find
for local branches of trade or technical
colleges near you by looking for their
websites online.

Adult education classes can bring in extra
cash
You can turn almost any topic into a class and begin
teaching adult education or extension classes through a
local community college. You will be expected to
submit a written outline of the course you develop.
Classes are usually 2 to 6 hours long and may be
given as a one day class or over several days or
evenings. Saturday classes are usually the
best-attended.
Many classes stem from an instructor's hobbies or
personal interests, rather than traditional academic
subjects. Other people develop classes based on
their primary businesses. In our local college
people are teaching everything from jewelry making to
photography to landscape design to investing.
You will be paid only for the hours you teach.
Many instructors, however, sell books they have written
to their students in order to supplement their teaching
pay.
