What do I do if I hate teaching?
The bottom line is if you find yourself thinking, “I hate teaching” on a regular basis, it’s time to get help (therapy, burnout support, other) or leave the profession. If you know changing grades, schools, or districts wouldn’t help (or you’ve already tried that), it’s a good sign it’s time to go.
Do I need a PHD to be a professor?
Though non-doctoral teachers can secure jobs in higher education, in order to secure the title of professor, they must have a doctoral degree in their field. Earning the Ph. –the terminal degree in any field–gives professors the academic knowledge and expertise to teach at the post-secondary level.
Should you become a professor or teacher?
This is a very important thing to consider. If you become a professor, you’ll work primarily with adults in their late teens and twenties, and you’ll also work with some older adult students, especially if you teach at a community college. You likely won’t teach any children at all.
Do college professors have full-time hours?
Many college professors teach only part time, with no full-time hours available to them. Whether or not you have a good chance of guaranteed full-time hours depends on two things–the field you teach in and the job market in the place you hope to live and work.
Is it possible to get laid off as a professor?
Cutbacks and layoffs are much more possible for professors than elementary, middle, or high school teachers. Before you become a professor, consider your long-term financial obligations.
Is it possible to just teach and not do managerial work?
A lot of schoolteachers have no interest in managerial work at their school or in their district. And as a school teacher, that’s very much OK! It’s possible to “just teach” throughout one’s K-12 career. In contrast, college professors are expected and required do administrative work at the schools where they teach.
