| Topic | 45% of teachers quit within 5 years. I might be one of them |

Suck like many of others here my job sucks. Just the horror stories of you teachers just got me to thinking about how much I hate my job. You need a PhD in a relevant field. Actual teaching ability is largely irrelevant (though I got an award once from UW for high evaluations it did nothing for my job prospects or pay). Some smaller schools you might be able to with a Master's degree, but honestly I think that's just the way the ads are posted and the reality is they get so many PhD applicants it isn't enough. It's shitty though. I don't think you should go into it. Go private industry or leave the US. If you are a top tier researcher you can do well, but teaching is basically a useless skill in academia these days. They would rather hire expendable adjuncts to do it and if you are a professor no one cares about your teaching, they care about your research. --- Favorite Games: BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Street Fighter III: Third Strike, Bayonetta, Bloodborne thats a username you habe - chuckyhacksss ...
