Perhaps CS is an exception, but I was under the impression that jobs in academia (in general) were in woefully short supply.
While I'm sure they wouldn't get the cream of the crop, there's reportedly an excess of under-employed & under-paid PhD's and post-docs in a number of STEM fields (again, specifically in academia).
- barry-cotter 14y agoCEGEPs are kind of a combination community college/last year of high school/first year of university. They are teaching institutions, not research ones. US community colleges can demand Master's degrees but not Ph.D.s to teach. Mostly people with Ph.D.s who can't get real academic jobs exit that market, not go CC. Anyone who is actually teach a CS course at a CC or a CEGEP and who is doing it as a full time job is doing it for non-pecuniary reasons, inclusive of being incompetent but having attained a qualification sufficient to teach.
- ramchip 14y agoCEGEP teachers don't do any research and aren't really considered academics. The hiring requirement for Dawson is a Master's in CS + 2 years experience, and that requirement can be waived down to a college diploma (DEC, that's less than a bachelor's) if one has enough industry experience to justify it.
