Where do I go from here?
I am not a student, technically speaking, but rather a mid-life professional seeking more of a specific direction with my career. In brief, I obtained an international PhD in a field related to the humanities and published my research as a monograph. However, after approximately five years of applying for teaching positions I was not able to obtain a position beyond an adjunct role teaching online for low pay at two schools. I currently hold two-part time jobs: both of them recently passed me up for promotions, and one has just started laying people off (I'm feeling quite vulnerable in that regard). Aside from the pursuit of higher education, I've honestly been 'lost' as far as what other direction might be worth pursuing in which I would thrive. I am not even sure what questions to ask, but I would certainly appreciate any thoughts, advice, willingness to make new contacts, or any other assistance that you might deem valuable. It will be much appreciated. Thank you!
