When I'm interested in a subject, I'm usually not only interested, but quirkily obsessed. I have always had in these "interests" (which have ranged from rocks to Napoleon and Claude Rains to Russian history) a desire to share my passion with others. I like to write, research and travel. Therefore, I thought that the perfect job for me would be that of a college professor.
If you are a professor, or are soon hoping to become one, I would greatly appreciate any tips or observations about the occupation that might support or even tear down my warm-and-fuzzy goal. Is there any aspect of the job I'm missing? Is there a college I should consider over, say, Duke or Yale, because of a program that would aid me in reaching my destination?
Simply put, the internet provides beaucoup de information on how to become a doctor or the president, but very little (other than eHow) on how to become a professor. I'd love any information from the experts. Thanks!
