Teaching is a rewarding profession, as educators help mold the future movers and shakers of societies. According to recent data from the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), there are around 4.2 million elementary and secondary school teachers and 1.5 million postsecondary faculty members. The numbers continue to grow.

With teachers being part of a good portion of their lives, a lot of students are naturally curious about their jobs. I had my own questions as a student back then, and I regularly encountered inquiries about the teaching profession from interested students as a seasoned career planner.

As such, I decided to create a guide that tackles the most common student questions about the teaching profession. We invited Alan J. Singer, Ph.D., Professor of Teaching, Learning and Technology at Hofstra University, to shed light on them and share his experiences, beliefs, and opinions on various aspects of the profession.
