Whether I should go to a better college to be able to teach at a university?
I've been told that I might have better luck getting a teaching position at a school like Virginia Tech (where I live) if I go to a school like Harvard. However, I want to teach English/History which is not Virginia Tech's focus at all, it being an engineering and agriculture school. Do I still need to go to a prestigious/"better" school to get a good job teaching? #teaching #professor #college-selection

What are some ways you can build confidence in public speaking, specifically for teaching?
I have around 7 years experience (or so) in tutoring, and I am pretty comfortable educating individuals and very small groups. However, I am considering pursuing an educators license and becoming a science teacher. I am not very confident in speaking in front of a group of more than 5 people at a time, I have tried classes, workshops and working individually with my professors to attempt to get better at this skill with no success. Are there other ways to boost confidence in this skill? Is this just an issue that will eventually get better in time? Are there teachers and professors on the site that had problems with public speaking but overcame them? If so, how? Thank you! #public-speaking #teacher-training #professor #teacher #environmental-science

How do you propose the idea of an independent study with a professor you don't know?
I have an area of interest that builds off of a specific subject matter that a professor teaches. The issue is he only teaches one class on that topic, and I have taken it already (a few terms ago). I would like to ask that professor to do an independent study class with me to build on this topic, but I don't know him personally or even casually. #college #professor #communications #academic-advising #study
What other doctoral degrees include just 4 years after undergrad?
Im a junior in high school, trying to narrow down my career choices. I know i want to do something medical, and im willing to put in the time for something im passionate about. However, it becomes a problem of money and tuition for 10-15 years. I also cant really imagine studying generalized medicine in med school for so long. I need something more specific, so im looking at my choices that do not include going to medical school. I know optometry is just 4 years after undergrad, are there any other doctoral degrees similar in length? #doctor #medicine #college-major #professor #medical-school #optometry
