#published #author #professor #careerchange #career In this segment of "Time We Discuss" I look at what it's like to be a Published Author and College Professor. We first talk about some of the differences between a teaching at a public university versus a private university. Watch the video on "Career as a Tenured College Professor" for more information on what it's like to teach at a public university. During the second half, we talk about what it's like to get a novel published. We talk about different steps to take, size of a publishing company, advances, and the staff with which you can expect to work. After watching this video, you should have a general idea of what career paths are available if you either want to teach at a private university or if you want to be a published author. Find out if these are good career choices for you. #published #author #professor #careerchange #career ================================================================= Timestamp: 0:00 - Intro 1:25 - What is it like being a professor at a small liberal arts college? 3:22 - What does research look like for a professor at a small liberal arts college? 4:36 - Do professors at small liberal arts colleges have the opportunity to teach abroad? 6:08 - Do different academic programs partner with different locations? 7:15 - What education and teaching experience do you need to teach at a small liberal arts college? 8:26 - What does entry look like for someone changing careers and looking to teach at a small liberal arts college? 9:48 - Novel, Heading North, inspired by Lokomotiv Yaroslav air disaster.
