What are my chances in getting a job as a Professor? Please read details below.?
Asked by dizzy_19832002I have a BA in Anthropology and Sociology. I am going to attend Capella University (an online school). I am going to get an MS in Mental Health Counseling. I will be licensed to Counsel, then I am going to continue to receive a PHD in Psychology Counseling. The reason why I am going to an online school, is because I am in the military, and I want to continue working on education no matter where I am. Capella is a very good program, and it is also required for me to do 100 practicum hours and 1000 internship hours. My dream is to become a Professor, Is this Possible? Would they hire me? I know that online schools are looked down upon through academic institutions, but if they know the reason of my decision, which is the army, would they re-condsider? any advise would be helpful, thanks. oh, and I am planning on becoming a Medical Officer for Mental health in the army, so I will have that additional military training to help me out with becomina a professor.

Having a Ph.D. is GOOD and you can start off as a visiting lecturer / part time adjuct faculty. Then, as you gain experience and familiarize yourself with the school, once a fulltime tenure track position comes available, apply - they may already have you in mind to hire. You can do anything you put your mind to if you work hard at it.
