FWIW, the adjunct role is very low pay, for quite a bit of work. They pay you for contact hours. 2 lectures per week is 2-4 contact hours. They don't pay you for time grading, traveling, answering questions/office hours, etc. I've looked at doing that (PhD and over 50) to augment my own income, but the time commitment is huge, compared to the compensation.
