Question For personal reasons, I would like to retire as a college professor, perferably at Hampton University, teaching Entrepreneurship, Social Entrepreneurship and/or Community Economic Development(CED) - I have a Master's in CED. What employment and/or self-employment opportunities would you believe to be available to me? I am married, age 51 with three small children ages 4, 6 and 9.
Answer To begin with, Hamptom is a beautiful area. Right near the University, is The Smithsonian Air and Space museum with an active educational resource center. There are several other colleges in the immediate area: Norfolk State, Old Dominion, Christopher Newport, William & Mary, Virginia Wesleyan as well as several community colleges. There are also many museums with varied teaching centers. I don't expect that you would have difficulty locating employment in this area. More importantly, It's a great place for your children to grow up. Lots of culture and fun things to do. Schools are good. I don't know where you presently live, but I'm from NY and am thankful I chose to relocate here. Hope this helps, and feel free to contact meif needed.
