Finally I think
Posted 07-25-2010 at 08:26 AM by lokelake
I think I made up my mind of what I want to go to college for... become a Philosophy Professor.
Maybe I will go back to Meteorology after I make actual money from that.

Become a sc2 pro and move to korea, it will be far more lucrative than studying philosophy ^^Posted 07-25-2010 at 11:11 AM by Xelias

Haha! Maybe, but no go to Korea. I know another person did, that could be why you said that to me, but not sure.Quote:Originally Posted by Xelias

I don't know if they get snow.
Also, driving on snowy roads is a nice break from black roads year round!Posted 07-25-2010 at 02:55 PM by lokelake

I always thought you would make a good philosophy professor. I just wish we had professors like you when I was back in college.Posted 07-25-2010 at 03:07 PM by depp

TBH, I am not really fond giving people communion (because I am not fond of putting my hand close to their mouth).
I won't be able to handle funerals.
I am decent coming up with sermons.
And, most Roman Catholic masses went from a good mass, from a long time ago, to a crappy mass in the present day.Posted 07-25-2010 at 07:46 PM by lokelake

No, I am not changing religions. I am going to stay being a Christian. Nor will I change my Christian denomination. I like being a Catholic.Quote:Originally Posted by Tiger

You do realize philosophers actually have to think for themselves? Like, not relying on religion to tell you what to do in your life, for example.

Yes but 444’s point is still valid. To teach you must first be able to do. You will not attain to Philosopher professor/teacher status just by mimicking other philosophers. You will need to think for yourself, demonstrating that you have a grasp of your subject matter. Only then can you teach it.Quote:Originally Posted by lokelake

College professors do what they do because they are some of the most respected people in their professions. Where I go to school, teaching is second to stuff they are researching or writing. And before that, when hey have to get their doctorate, they must demonstrate that they can be a leading expert in their field. It takes at least 12 years to get a doctorate. Once you get it, it is pretty hard to change jobs let alone change professions. If you want to be a college professor, you have to realize that is what you are going to do for the rest of your life.
When people go onto their masters, and then to their doctorates, they are essentially competing for jobs and respect. They have to show they are committed and that they know their stuff. You have to prove you can think for yourself. And to your comment about not being a philosopher, if you want to teach at a university, they will only hire you if you are philosopher. It doesn't matter if it is at Harvard or Yale down to a community college. If you are teaching college you are what you are teachingPosted 07-26-2010 at 12:31 PM by Manbearpig
