Straight To PHD or work with an MA as part time professor? So I've recently applied for my PHD in Economics and have found a a couple job offers to be a part time professor at a college (not a university) which only require an Masters degree. The contract is for 10 months.

I'm debating whether or not it is beneficial to my  academic career to delay my PHD for the next year for the sake of this teaching position as i am currently under then belief that it will improve my CV.

Which one is a better option?
This is an opinion question which is disfavored here. It is also a personal choice question which is also disfavored. 

But I would think, in general, that there are better ways to start out on an academic career than with such a position. Unless money is a big issue, my advice, if I were your advisor, would be to get into the doctoral program now and try to pick up a bit of teaching experience as part of it. 

But that is an opinion, worth just about exactly what you paid for it.
