Philosophy Professor
Collaborate with fellow professors to educate students on the subject of philosophy.
Due to the pandemic, a typical day at work looks a lot different than it normally does. Instead of teaching in a classroom, my classes are asynchronous. I assign work to my students to do at their own pace and don't meet with them virtually. Although starting next semester I am going to have a virtual class. A typical day involves me grading papers, creating assignments, lesson planning, and having one on ones with students who have questions or need help.
Here's the first step for college students
Find opportunities that apply to you even if it's not your first choice, you may enjoy it more than you expect. Make sure your resume is up to date and straight to the point. Have it highlight what makes you unique without too many filters. Create connections with people who work in the profession you want to go in. This can simply be through professors who can get you in contact with organizations.
"I was supported by my family to pursue my career choice. Although I didn't face discouragement from my peers, I had trouble finding my calling entering college but was quickly motivated by the concept of philosophy. "
