Business Instructor

[Ed-- A pseudo non-profit governing operating a series of colleges is looking for a few good profs to teach.  A PhD is not required, but they do want some sort of terminal degree, preferably an MBA.  Or a terminal degree in education!  But not a JD.  No JD's under any circumstances.  We're trying to pass along *useful* knowledge here, folks.  Perhaps you can change their minds by showing them your AmJur'd your law and business class?  

I normally confine my comments to the "No JD" part, but I find it hilarious that being able to lift 15 lbs is an 'essential function.'  In that case, they are probably wise to avoid lawyers, who learned in law school to transport 15 pounds via a rolling backpack.]
