    In most schools you need at least a Master’s degree in the field you want to teach in. If you want to teach full-time and get a tenured position, then you need a doctorate if such a degree exists in your field (they do in most fields). Unfortunately, you usually don’t need any experience to become a professor, just a degree.
    At most universities, all the professors must do research – in fact usually the research is the most important part of their job, and teaching is secondary (although still important). Some smaller colleges (without a graduate program) don’t require their professors to do research – it varies from place to place.
    I’m a physics and astronomy professor at a small state college. I have a Master’s in Astronomy. With my background, they hired me on a tenure-track position, where I would get tenure in 5 years. BUT I had to have a doctorate in order to get tenure. Usually they wouldn’t have even hired someone without a Ph.D., but I have a lot of other experiences and knowledge that the college really desired, so they made an exception for me. At my school, professors do not need to do research. At our state University, however, professors do have to do research. They have longer to get tenure, but they have to be published in a peer-reviewed journal in order to get tenure.

    Dear Professor;
    Where can scientific proof or reference, confirming planetary circumnavigation be accessed? With the use of special filters, Astronomers can observe Jupiter during all 12 months of the year. The 2009 World Almanac confirms this by publishing the day, hour and minute of Jupiter’s rising and setting times for each of the 12 months. If our solar system is allegedly circumnavigating the Sun, how could observations be possible during the four month period when the Earth & Jupiter are on opposite sides of the Sun from Each other? Does http://www.aptheory.info answer this question? The web site posists the solar winds, not quantum gravity (disproved in 1956) are the source probelling our solar system in front of the Sun and that the solar system formed from the Sun’s mantle and core. Newtonian gravity (not quantum) is proven and referenced but does not satisfactorily explain this situation. The arc in which the two planets travel also does not explain the Sun’s lack of obstruction during this four month period. Please explain.
    The logical explanation for Jupiter’s observation 12 months per year is http://www.aptheory.info. Do you agree?
    Sincerely, A. Pettolino, Author of AP Theory

    It’s rather unfortunate that Mr. Pettolino chooses to send this ‘form letter’ to everyone and anyone. Same message and same greeting, ‘Professor’. It’s obvious he borders on a obsessive/compulsive disorder in trying to prove himself wiser than many learned individuals, Einstein included. It will make no difference who answers his questions. He will never acknowledge their scientific reasoning since he is so convinced his is the only answer. Sad…..
