local pay for adjuncts

[mermaidcafe.livejournal.com]

Hi all--

I'm going to be interviewing for adjunct teaching jobs. I am very new to Massachusetts, so I have no idea what to expect as far as salary. If anyone here has adjuncted (I'll be in English, btw), can you tell me roughly what you got paid per course?

Down south it seemed to usually be around $3000/course, but I also paid $315/month for a 1-BR apartment there. *rent nostalgia*

Hey, I'm a southern transplant too. Where are you from?

Neat!

Mostly Virginia, but I came here after grad school in Alabama. And you?

I lived in Virginia my entire life until last year!

Yeah? Which part? I'm from southwest VA, though I haven't lived there full-time since 2002.

I came from Blacksburg.

OMG, me too!

I'm sending you a message now. :)

You're not the one from Bristol, who knows the doctor friend of mine from Kentucky? (I think we crossed paths at a Brown School Open House) Shoot me an email.
