Here is some very intriguing and interesting information. Universities are fighting over a diminishing number of academically trained PhD's worldwide and many are having to go to alternative plans to fill their classrooms. The Wall Street journal provides to interesting insight on this situation:

Anyone with a Master's Degree and a decent amount of professional experience might want to look at college level teaching if the corporate world is not offering great opportunities right now. While perhaps this was not a financially attractive option 3 or 4 years ago, I suspect that the current playing field might yield different results. An academic environment might not be the perfect venue for everyone but, if you are in need of a new challenge, this might be worth researching before ruling it out!
