Role model Interviews

I interviewed two professors I did not know and never had a class with.
The first one was Exa Von-Alt
I asked her what inspired her to become a professor
her answer was that when she was an undergrad at Weelock College her undergraduate director told her that teaching at a university was more flexiable and less irritating than teaching high School.
We also talked about what steps had to be taken to achieve this goal, she first stated that she had to get an B.A in history, then after that she had to take the G.R.E she also needed three letters of recommendation, a writing sample, a C.V which is an academic resume and a statement of purpose.
The next person I interviewed was Perry Duis who is a history professor at UIC
I asked him why did he choose to become a teacher, and he stated that he became a teacher because he enjoyed being a student and he enjoyed the university athmosphere and that being a professor reseambles being a student.
I also asked him what he had to accomplish in order to become a professor he stated that he Had to get a PH.D in History from the unversity of chicago and write a book(aka Dissertation)
When asked what are the challenges of being a professor he said that the hardest challege was being one person at home and a different person when he comes to work.
Now that he has accomplished his goal of becoming a teacher his sights are set on writing more books
