You look like you love your career, now you inspired me to become a professor someday. Kudos!
Yay! That means so much! I do love it so much! It can be a lot of work but I enjoy what I do!
I love your channel! I'm an undergrad hoping to be a professor someday, and it's so great to see the daily life of an actual professor. Thank you for sharing your experiences!
Yay!!! I'm so happy you are enjoying my channel! If you have any questions about being a professor, feel free to ask! Your questions will also give me more video ideas!
Likewise. I start my PHD journey in the next 1.5 years and I’m excited but I like seeing what it is like to be a professor outside of the professors I work on my research with. Thank you so much for this channel! You are inspiring all of us💕
Such a beautiful sunshine, wish more professors were as excited about their job as you are.
Thank you!
You sound like a great support to your students. I wish some of my teachers could relate.
Thanks so much for the compliment!
We don't have mid-semester evaluations---only end of the course evaluations. Luckily, I usually get great evaluations from my students. Like you, I do everything I can to help and accommodate my students.
Thanks Bobbie! We aren't required to do mid-semester evaluations. But I just do them to see how my students are feeling!
Thank you, very inspirational!
Thank you! So happy you enjoyed the video!
I really appreciate you sharing your course evaluation template! Really good content.
You are so welcome! Happy that it's helpful!
I wanted to be a professor and I love this channel :))
Thank you so much! So happy you are enjoying it!
Thanks for giving your advice and feedback as a Professor. I start this Fall.
Congratulations! I'm glad you found the video! Let me know if you have any questions!
@@theacademicsociety I will be teaching fashion.
@@tiffaniewilliamson2768 That is so cool!
Several thoughts right now. First, drop your skincare routine, please. Your skin is GLOWING. 2. Your voice is so soothing and just the way to talk about your job/ career you can tell just how passionate you are and I love that for you! 3. This was so nice to watch. I currently have a BS degree in nutrition and dietetics and am working as a dietitian (love my job) however, I am looking to become a college professor as I genuinely love to teach and educate people. So, thank you for your videos! Will definitely continue to watch!
Thank you so much!!! #1 - I actually don't have a real skincare routine but I definitely want to start implementing one! I'm so happy you enjoyed this video! Thank you for watching and commenting! I love your goal to become a college professor! I definitely say go for it!
I enjoy your videos. I teach graduate level education courses so my courses are typically scheduled after school hours (either beginning at 4:30 pm or 7:00 pm). The only exceptions to this are my summer courses which are scheduled during the day. I am only an adjunct (which sucks). Would love to hear some advice about getting a full time position.
I have a free course on how I applied for jobs in academia. I give advice on writing CVs, Teaching Statements, and Cover Letters. Here's the link if you want to check it out: www.theacademicsociety.com/job-app-crash-course/
How long did it take for you to get your phD.How was your journey? Was it hard?
This is amazing I am also in graduate school getting my masters while teaching at a middle as an eight grade language arts teacher I would love ❤️ to teach adults , I’m sure being a college professor is a fun job that comes with minimal stress as you are no longer baby sitting as you do with k-12
That's wonderful!! I've never taught children but I can say I do really enjoy teaching adults. While they aren't always responsible, I don't have to do any "babysitting"
Hey, I’m an aspiring professor. Was it hard landing the job? What should I do to stand out?
Iam so happy to start my new career as a teacher 😍❤️!
Thank you GOD 🙏🏻❤️
الحمدلله الحمدلله الحمدلله
That's awesome! Wishing you a wonderful first semester!
Enjoyed the video as a fellow prof.
Yay! I'm so happy that you found this video!
Hi...what college do u teach in
Great Video! I like the work- life balance of a college professor :)
Me too! It's one of the best parts for me!
I'm 15 and would love to be a literature professor one day. I'm going to take english language, English literature and psychology for A level. Will these help? I also took theatre and french for gcse. I took theatre to help with my confidence in speaking and I took a language so I can get an English baccalaureate when I pass my GCSE's. What sort of work experience should I get? Great video, thank you!!
Just stumbled upon your channel and in love with it! I’m an aspiring professor but have yet to start my PhD. I currently teach high school chemistry . I wanted to ask how much work you take home with you? One of my struggles is keeping up with all the lesson planning and grading . Also, from one woman of color to another , we need more of us representing STEM!❤️❣️
Yay! I'm so happy that you found my channel! I actually don't take any work home (before the pandemic). I started this practice in grad school. I always get distracted when I'm working at home. So I always get everything done in my office. And if I need to work on the weekend, I go to my office to do that. I would typically go to my office for a couple hours on a Sunday to prepare for the week.
The Academic Society with Toyin Alli oh okay nice! I’m the same way, I usually would stay in my classroom to get most work done but I always get so worn out by the end of the day I just want to sleep 😂 I also had another question, would you think that there would be a higher job market for Chemistry Ph.Ds or Chemical Education PhDs instead ?
@@xxladybug94 I'm not sure how it is for Chemistry but I know that in Math sometimes Math Education PhDs don't have to take as high level math courses. So they can't teach the high level math courses. So depending on the type of job you want when you finish it may be harder. But I'm not sure how it is for Chemistry
Thanks for that link.
You're so welcome!
Thanks for sharing! I just recently started considering this career and these videos really help. I wonder if you know about how easy/hard it is to find a professor job overseas?
I'm not sure about getting a job internationally. But I do think it will be different depending on the field.
Hey.. I am from india.. Your channel has subscribed.. Keep going ♥️
Thanks so much! So glad you found my channel!
I think I would really love to be a professor! I am just wondering 1) how hard it is to land a tenure-track position when you have graduated from an R I university? Also, 2) if I am a new mom and I want to take a year or two off, is that possible while at the same time securing your tenure-track job? And 3) how hard is a Ph.D. program actually? And, are tenure-track professors not paid well and not guaranteed health insurance if they teach in a "mediocre" college? Lastly, 4) I wonder if professors have the option of taking the summer off; if so, do they get paid for the summers?
I would really appreciate it if you answered some of these questions!
I will say that a lot your questions depends on the field that you are in. After grad school, it will become more clear what type of professor position you want: instructional faculty member, tenure-track at a liberal arts school, tenure-track at an R1 school. I would say that I didn't know what I wanted to do until my last year of grad school. I realized that I loved teaching more than research so I decided to become an instructional faculty member. All PhD programs are different but they do take a lot of work and time. Salary depends on your field of study. For example, I teach in the math department and I get paid significantly less than my mom who teaches in the business school.
@@theacademicsociety Got it, thank you for this information! Would you say that the tenure-track route is good if you want to prioritize family life (e.g. get family leave) while also securing your tenure-track position or do professors often have to work all year round? And do professors take the summer off, generally?
Great content! Would you consider a professor to be a very stressful/lonely job? Just curious! Cause I was thinking of becoming a professor myself in the future
For me it is very low stress! But I'm a Lecturer and my job is 100% teaching so I don't have to focus on research or writing grants. I love my academic lifestyle because I think it complements my personality well.
This is my plan
Omg!! I am so glad I found you. I am currently in college and want to be a college professor in math! I’m so scared to ask my University or ask somebody what I need to do to get there and really how achievable it is. I have so many questions !
Do you have to get your PhD?
What pathway should I take?
I wish you well. Thank you for the video!
So glad you found me too! You should definitely not be afraid to ask your professors these questions. So few students pursue a career in math so they would be delighted to know that you are interested and I would imagine that they will share all about their experiences as well!
I have a video on my process to becoming a college lecturer: czcams.com/video/LNZUIue7xTw/video.html
@@theacademicsociety Thank you! I’m going to check out the video!
I will ask them and I hope they will be great resources. Thank you so much!
Hi, Toyin Alli kindly like to check how to consistently set motivations within me to become a professor? Need some ideas from you...
Hi! Thanks for watching! Will you clarify what you mean by motivations?
Hi
I just wanted ask you that i am planing to do phd , I competed MSW but i want do phd in clinical psychology bcz I want to become professor in psychology is this the right way?
I'm not sure about the different subject areas within psychology, but getting a PhD is perfectly aligned with becoming a college professor
Great video! How hard is it to obtain your PhD, is it as difficult as some people say it is?
It is a very difficult process. It takes a lot of focus and dedication and is not something to enter in lightly. I detailed a lot of the process in this video: czcams.com/video/LNZUIue7xTw/video.html
Hello glad I searched this video and watched and learned. But there is one query that- do professor work like a high school teacher or there are differences in teaching method?
In my experience, professors aren't trained in teaching. So what they do is all over the board. I've never taken any education classes so I'm sure that what high school teachers do to structure and plan their classes are much more informed. I kind of just do what I notice my students connect most with. It's definitely a learning process.
@@theacademicsociety thanks ❤🙏
Do you have a video that shows a typical day IN the classroom?
I don't have one but that's something I could talk about in the future.
I want that too
Pls try to make one
Hi! I've seen in a lot of your videos that you say you need a PhD. to be a professor, is it possible to ne a professor with only a masters in the subject you would want to teach? Ex: Psychology ( General Psychology, Developmental Psychology, Abnormal Psychology)
I'm sure it depends on your field. But many departments have instructional faculty. Some of the instructional faculty in my department have masters degrees. In math, they are typically called Instructors.
@@theacademicsociety Do these instructors get paid the same as tenure-track professors?
@@marwaelraey2288 tenure-track professors usually get paid more
@@theacademicsociety What I meant was that instructional professors who only have a Masters degree are paid like tenure-track professors and are not just adjuncts.
@@marwaelraey2288 I think it depends on the field. In my department, the faculty that have master's degrees are called instructors but they are full time employees, not adjuncts.
Hello my major is in bilingual education for primary school. I would like to get my master and doctorate. Is there a specific program that I need to have to become a full time professor? Like instruction and curriculum or educational leadership? Thank you ❤️
Hey Elide! All you need is a PhD to be a professor. And you don't have to necessarily get your degree in a specific subject to be a professor of that subject. For example, I got my PhD in Math. I could be a professor in a math department, statistics department, engineering department, or business school. It mostly depends on the type of professor you want to be.
For example, I'm a Lecturer, which means that my focus is on teaching instead of research. If you want to be a tenure track professor, you are mostly hired based on your research. It may be different in other fields, but that's how it is in math.
I hope I answered your question! Basically, you need a PhD to be a professor and it doesn't matter the field. I've never taken an education course in my life and that's true for most professors who don't study education.
Do you offer online tutoring (as in an entrepreneurial business of your own?) I am an older College student pursuing nursing and would pay for a math tutor with your patience for Algebra and Statistics. 😊
Hi Shayla, I don't do any tutoring but most schools have a list of math grad students who offer paid tutoring.
The Academic Society with Toyin Alli thanks! 😊
I am also PhD doctor n Assistant Professor at University 😊
So awesome!! That's amazing!
I like her jacket
Wow, you're young! You look like you just recieved your Bachelors! How old are you?! THATS cool and neat and youre very pretty! AND PLEASE IGNORE THE GRAMMATICAL ERRORS HERE LOLOL
