This was really helpful Toyin. I will be teaching General Biology and Molecular Biology part time at a community college soon and so this is helpful. I just subscribed.
Yay! I'm so happy that this video resonated with you!
Repent and receive life from Christ and be saved in Jesus mighty name amen.
Your teeth be blinding😍✨
Haha! Thank you! 😊
I was really searching for this information for a long time ....and thank you
So happy this video was helpful for you!!!
Great video. Thanks for posting
Awesome! So glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
I love this video. It was very helpful
Thanks so much! Do happy you enjoyed it!!!
compelling video, I loved it.
Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!
@@theacademicsociety yes I did enjoy, please keep creating awesome videos
Outstanding beautiful!
I like this video a lot! I want to be a MATH lecturer too
Yay! That's so awesome! Go for it!
I definitely got what I was looking for...........................Thanks for making such "to the point" video
Thanks so much for watching!
@@theacademicsociety People especially in my part of the world are also pretty interested in knowing the same stuff about Canada. I hope you can do some survey and post some videos on Canadian academic earning systems as well. Thanks
Thank you madam!
Which is your school?
Great information, but one small question what about Adjunct Professor? I only ask because outside of my full-time job at the college I work I am an Adjunct Professor which is for individuals who doesn't teach a full course load but would like to explore the experience of teaching at the undergraduate level.
Great question! I don't know anything about adjuncts and adjunct salaries. Hopefully, there are resources out there to help!
Adjuncts live in poverty. Usually they are paid per class--between $1800 to $3,000 for four months--with no benefits (capped at 4 classes per year). It used to be a way to get full time, but not anymore. Please don't go this route.
The janitor, secretary, and grad assistants make double. $12,000 yearly-driving between 2 states. Pay delays of almost 2 months and classes can be cancelled without prior notice.
@@theacademicsociety please learn about this unethical system. Watching the documentary Professors in Poverty would be a good start.
Is the job security higher for tenure track professors as opposed to lecturers? (or is the job security just low for adjunct professors?)
I think that it depends on the school and the department. My job as a non-tenure track lecturer is a permanent position with promotion. So I think of it as running parallel to the tenure track timeline. After being a lecturer, I can be promoted to senior lecturer, and then principal lecturer. I'm sure that this wildly varies across different universities.
Is there any hope for teaching positions for someone who has only an MA?
Awesome Video! As a current PhD student thank you! Just a quick question, is it that non-tenure lecturers work on contract and have no job security?
Thank you! I think it depends on the position and school. My job as a lecturer is non-tenure track but it's permanent and I can be promoted to Senior Lecturer.
@@theacademicsociety Great! Awesome to know! Thank you.
I would like to be a lecture at a university and junior college but I can only go up to a master's, can I be a university lecture with a master's, teaching communication. Hopefully my dream come true, I would happy teaching communication at a university, until that day comes I will be happy and satisfied, for the meantime I will continue to work hard to reach my dreams and go.
What kind of research would a professor do? I'm new to this information and trying to decide which route to go. I heard that professors have to have their own funding for research. Do professors choose what they research? If they perform research do they make less than just teaching? I also saw they could have a contract. There are so many branches I wish I could find a place that they are organized according to salary, hours they work, and type. Do you have any advice or links you could provide? Thanks in advance.
I don't know if there is any one resource that breaks all of this down. But typically professors who do research make more money than those who only teach. I would recommend talking with a professor in your field of study to ask about the type of research they do.
The Academic Society with Toyin Alli thank you 🙏🏼Love your beautiful smile by the way. 😊
@@christinaggraham79 Thanks so much!
hey loved your content. Can we become a professor just after a master's degree?
In some fields and some schools yes, but typically a PhD is required to teach at the college level.
New Subscriber! I got my BS in Applied Mathematics in May 2021. I would love to be a professor at a medical school ( mathematical biologist)
That is soooo awesome! Go for it!!
@@theacademicsociety awwee thank you so much 😁
Thanks for this informative video. Just 2 quick questions:
1. In your field at your school, how many classes are Tenure-track v. Lecturer professors required to teach?
2. Can lecturers still do a bit of research on the side if they really want to?
Thanks and keep up the great videos.
Great question! At my school, Lecturers teach 12 hours a semester. I think tenure track teach 6 or 3 hours a semester. And lecturers are welcome to do research as well.
❤
Can you do a pro con video about your job as a lecturer?
That's a fun idea! Off the top of my head, I'd say that the only con for me is grading.
Does the name of school you graduated really matter to find a job?
I don't think so. It's mostly about your research area. Departments will be looking to fill a position based on what research area is needed.
Where’s those links?
You can find them in the description of the video. I just added the chronicle data website: data.chronicle.com/
How many classes do you teach each semester?
I teach 12 hours. So depending on the classes 3-4 per semester.
@@theacademicsociety Wow, I have 18 contact hours/week as a lecturer and that means 6 classes
@@whatever3041 Great example of how every position is different in different departments and schools!
good video, wish schools wouldn't pay folks less than 50K, (and demand or, rather "prefer") folks to have a PhD. just feels as if they are totally unaware of the market around them and Non-PhD requiring jobs can earn more than 50K ... my current place matches your schools average, unfortunately thanks to the higher ed system reshuffling, i now have to drop below 50K in another school ;(
Yeah; I'm not sure how salaries are decided and what factors go into those decisions but it doesn't feel right for professors to make less than 50K. It also doesn't feel right that K12 teachers get paid less than that too!
I am tts assistant professor.. so it requires more n more research n i love to do research 😊
Yay! It's so important to choose a position where you get to do what you love!
you are very pretty with ur english
Thanks so much!
Thank you, I learned a lot. I will teach Russian language and literature in college
That's so awesome! Thank you for watching!
What about adjuncts? 75% of teaching faculty, now, are adjuncts. Those faculty get paid a fraction of the wages.
I don't know much about adjuncts but the link in my description should have some data.
do you know usually how much law professors make? like at the average law school
I don't know but I'm sure there is a database that you could check to find out.
@@theacademicsociety do you know if you can be a law progress or just with a JD? That’s what I heard, that for law all h need is a law degree, not a PhD
@@arafrahman1116 I'm not familiar with that field. I'd recommend asking professors at your school about their career path.
You have a beautiful smile
Thank you!!
How long does it take to get your PhD
It took me 5 years. It's different depending on the field. But it typically takes 3-7 years after undergrad.
I make $95k as a NTT lecturer in engineering!
That's amazing!
What job can I get at the Masters level?
I think it depends on your field! In math, you can work in government, industry, or at a community college. I think it's helpful to figure out your goals first and if a graduate degree is necessary
In short you can look up chronicle data online...
Is this full or part-time salaries?
Full time. In my experience, I haven’t noticed that professor positions make a distinction between full time or part time. Typically the difference is “permanent” positions or 1-3 year positions
Hello, I m from India and want to be a biology professor in USA, in a good University. Can you please guide me?
That's so great! Perhaps this video can help: ruclips.net/video/LNZUIue7xTw/видео.html
I am going to earn my masters in Education and I want to become an instructor 👩🏫
That's so awesome! Go for it!
Go Toyin
Thanks so much!!!
You have a PhD your mum has a PhD a family of PhD. I wonder what your thesis was on. I heard in PhD that you have to come up with new research.
My research was on the visualization of high dimensional statistics; and yes, you have to add something new to academia
@@theacademicsociety
Thanks, for replying I am impressed. Well done.
ur teeth are literally incredible
Haha! Thank you!
How old are you
I have a huge respect for intelligent people , it doesn't matter what race they are , they all look attractive to me .
Awesome!
you are so beautiful!
Aww! Thank you so much!
I have a PhD in math, and used to be tenure track.
The pay sucks, the students (especially the Americans) are terribly unprepared and/or have terrible attitudes.
Besides the hours aren't bad, STAY away from academia.
I'm sorry that you didn't have a great experience. I love the type of job that I have and most of my students are great! I teach mostly freshman so they are often not prepared and have no idea how to study math. But I"m patient with them and they get the hang of it by the end of the semester
Wow! Your face is so captivating. An educated, beautiful Black woman. What A perfect candidate for a wife. Bless you, fine woman
U might as well say My name is Toyin & I'm a Genius! lol
Haha! Thank you! I'll take it!
@@theacademicsociety 😆🥰😘
Go straight to 5min and stop watching at 5.10
Yes, public info for the salary of anyone paid for by tax payers. You just need to know where to look.
Yessss!
@@theacademicsociety, just saw your name, Toyin. Do you have a Nigerian connection? I am Nigerian American and just got tenured in April.
@@HA-ot5ev Yes! My dad is from Nigeria!
you are so beautiful
Thank you for the info, very informative and you are very beautiful, I would take your math class, just to watch you, lol.
Dang, nice teeth!
Haha! Thank you!
At the end of the day, if you can’t survive a pandemic, you don’t really have any skills.
