The Joys of Being a Professor

by Andrew D. Cohen

Overview

When university professors are asked how their work is going, the response may focus on difficulties associated with the profession rather than on joys.What, in fact, are some joys that I have had in being a professor? What about joys that those aspiring to become professors might have in choosing this career as their own? And might this informationencourage those already in this career path?It might also provide interesting reading for veteran professors, prompting them to take stock of joys they have encountered. The result was the following book, with entries categorized according to different aspects of a professor's professional work life based on my own personal experiences, with the addition of a few others suggested by colleague. This is a feel-good volume--to demonstrate both to those in the profession and to those others interested in it ways in which being a professor can produce joy.
