Most Universities hire part-time or full-time instructors with Master's degrees
(M.A. or M.S.). I worked at BGSU (Bowling Green, OH) as a part-time instructor
with an MA. My mother works at 2 different community colleges in Columbus, OH,
teaching math with an MS.
Another thing you may be able to do is to substitute-teach in local high schools
or elementary schools. You'd have to check with the school system to see what
(if any) classes you might have to take to qualify.
Can't you get an assistantship to "rest" on while you get your Ph.D.?
