My youngest actually went to Elmhurst where he played football and ran track. He didn't go back after his freshman year but I loved Elmhurst.I'm so sorry you have been through all that, Scott. My father has an MBA from Rutgers. I'm familiar with what you are describing regarding work.
Many schools closer to Chicago will actually hire you with just a masters and no publications. Check private universities to see if they will hire you. Lewis University and Aurora University are two. They are far from you, but they also hire for online classes so you could live where you do and not have to worry about driving. One class isn't too bad to teach. I don't have a PhD and I still have teaching opportunities. There are probably a lot where you are too. They just do not advertise they are available, sometimes.
Thanks for the suggestion. If I can get my health sorted out will certainly look into it. I taught in grad Scholls and enjoyed it I spoke to the Dean of the MBA program about teaching at a Community college as he had been President of Parkland College in Champaign prior to taking the Dean of the Illinois MBA job. I graduated in 94 and he told me some instructors were making upwards of $90K (not huge MBA money but not bad ) and that was just a 3 class load for spring and fall. He said anything else like a minimester or summer was extra pay. I really wish I had gone into teaching. I would have had a secure pension waiting, so much less stress, a lot of time to do things besides working, and would feel like I was making a difference .
