To teach in school you've got to stay in school

About two weeks ago I answered an ad from a local college looking for a part time speech teacher. Seemed reasonable. I have some hours in speech type courses, have already taught at the college level and for over two decades I’ve earned a living by preparing and delivering speeches.

Turns out that I’m not qualified to teach speech. According to the accreditation division for colleges one must have 18 graduate hours of speech courses.
I didn’t want to be head of the department. This wasn’t even a full time job. Sheesh.
