        You do not need a teaching degree to be a professor.

        Most universities are private institutions, and can employ whomever they see fit in whichever positions they seem appropriate. They have a vested interest in employing accredited individuals.

        What I am saying is Florida will run out of such individuals at which time, it will become very easy for anyone to become a college professor.

        Also, I have been a college professor, and I only have an undergrad. Not in teaching. It was my actual title.

            … I just explained to you that that is not the case.

            Your simply disagreeing doesn’t do anything for your argument. I have provided sources, and am a former professor who does not meet your criteria.

            The burden of proof is on you. Cheers.

              And I am explaining that it is the case. Anyone who calls themselves a professor and doesn’t have a doctorate in their field is a hypocrite and a charlatan. I view them the same as a civilian pretending to be a military member or veteran. Sorry but you have to earn that title, not just give it to yourself.

                Again, I had that title. So, again, you’re absolutely incorrect. Thanks for playing. Cheers.
