    Think that adjunct instructors for US schools don't make enough money? What if it turns out that they make so much money that schools hire online adjuncts only from abroad instead?

    That's funny, I was just looking at their hiring steps.

    What's now missing that was there before were a bunch of faculty positions specifically calling for applicants to be from a variety of lower income countries, but no listings for faculty members who are in the US, even though Nexford is a US institution.

    I have worked for some places in Latin American where the typical pay for a course is 1000 USD or even 500 USD. If you live in Colombia or Peru and get $1500 USD pero course from a US school, you can live with some comfort. In any case, the adjunct career is very difficult, it could be a good supplement income but you can die if you decide to make it your only income. There are also so many PhDs nowadays that getting even adjunct work can be a challenge.

    I've made between $3500 and $700 per course for adjunct DE work. It seems to me that the brick-and-mortar schools with DE programs pay more but tend to be more of a headache.

    The easiest-to-obtain adjunct gig I ever landed was at a state university. However, I think this is generally true; more bureacracy.

    I think it is also a function of supply and demand. When I held the PMP I used to get pursued to teach project management. I've otherwise never received unsolicited offers from unfamiliar situations.
