Can anybody provide me some websites and ideas where I can look for teaching jobs. I am looking for a teaching job in accounting at colleges, universities and possibly online schools. I have my CPA and my masters in accountancy and I have a desire to be an accounting teacher. I will appreciate any tips on finding teaching jobs in accounting. Thanks

Most four year colleges want a doctorate in accounting. The best offer that I have seen was a one year contract with a private university for someone with a masters and CPA. The only reason that they offered a one year contract was because they could not find someone with a doctorate.
The private university offered $90,000 for a 12 month contract. Another private university offered $10,000 per course for a part-time teacher. Compare that to $1,600 per class at a state four year university and $900 per class at a state community college. States pay below the poverty level with no benefits for part-time teachers!
I did find a full-time job opening at a state community college. They wanted to pay the same as a new elementary teacher, $38,000 per year. Additionally, the state community college wanted the applicant to teach an overload of six classes per semester without an increase in pay!
The best paying teaching jobs are at private universities. States have champagne tastes, but a beer budjet. Most states are bankrupt and do not even have the money for a beer budget.
I love teaching, but I do not love working for the state.
