Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
gulliver, a college or university that grants Ph!.D!.-level degrees will insist their teaching staff have them!. So do most of the competitive schools, even those which only grant a bachelor's!.

However, if your master's is in a "hot" field, you may get on staff at a school that's desperately short handed!.

Otherwise, you're likely to be hired only at community colleges and not be considered by most schools which grant bachelor's degrees!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
