For people who have taught at both locations, what are some of the differences and pros/cons about teaching at a community college and teaching at a high school? I’ve taught English and Humanities at community colleges, and I currently teach elementary school music at a private school. But I’ve never taught English at the HS level and want to know its ups and downs. Thanks! Thanks for all the answers so far! I hope they keep coming! For those who asked, there were ups and downs teaching at the CC, but overall I enjoyed it. Main problem is that I only landed adjunct (part time) positions, which offer terrible pay and no benefits (it’s very difficult to get a full-time tenured position). Pretty much all of my students with part time jobs at the mall were making more money than I was. You can’t live off the salary of adjuncting.
