Forgive me if I sounded rude, I didn't mean to do that. It's probably due to my English level. I just wanted you to see how there is more that one full-time professor at a community college. On the other hand, it may be hard for me to find an entry-level job as an instructor right now due to my...

A full-time position would be enough for me. I actually thought tenure and full time were the same.

I am actually able to move anywhere within the US, but I would rather stay in California. I haven't developed a candidate list of potential community colleges.

Have you seen this?: https://collegeofsanmateo.edu/physics/faculty.asp I guess it is clear you haven't.

Yes, I have seen some.

The minimum requirements to teach Physics at a community college is an M.S. in Physics or a B.S. in Physics with an M.S. in a related field. If I conclude the program I will be able to teach at a community college. What I want to know is if having a PhD in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology from my...

What I actually asked in other threads was if getting a PhD in Physics would help me to get tenure at a community college, not if the PhD I already have would help me to achieve that goal.

Do you think the PhD I already have combined with the M.S. in Physics I plan to get will increase my chances to get tenure at a community college?

Wouldn't a postdoc increase my chances to get tenure at a community college?

The thing is I want to teach Physics at a community college, but I am interested in Particle Physics (as a topic).

The degree is for my home country (Mexico). I got into that program because the advisor I worked with talked to me about Photoluminisence before starting my Master's program and I found it more interesting (more like Physics) than Mechanical Engineering (I got my B.S. in ME).

Since I was at the end of my B.S. I wanted to get a degree in Physics and teach Physics at college. I found out the Master's program there accepts people with an Engineering background and its adimission process isn't to tough.

I already have a PhD in Nanoscience and Nanotechnology and I will start an M.S. in Physics at SJSU next Monday (August 21 2023). I am interested in Particle Physics. A professor at my institution working in the field told me the following "For you, since you already have a PhD, I don’t think it...

Actually, it is not that I don't feel that motivated to do the research. I guess it is more like I find it hard from my experience from my PhD. Anyway, since I will be 3 years in the M.S. degree, I guess I have about 2 years to get research experience in Physics and talk to people at SJSU to...

So, you mean it may be as equal as hard to teach at community college than to teach at a university? Based on my experience nothing compares to research.
