 * Job description:**

If you were to be a college professor, or even a teacher, you would have to know how to be in control of others. Your class might get a little rowdy and you'll need to calm them down. A professor would have to be organized becuase of their lesson plans, and tests, and grades and everything else. It wouldn't be fun for the student, who aced a test, to have to retake it because you lost it. And you would also have to be loud and not easily intimidated, because you have to be able to talk in front of a lot of students and project your voice throughout the room. I think that I'm very organized and know how to keep people in order. I would probably have to work on how lout my voice is, becuase I'm normally very quiet.
 * Personality:**

You are at high risk or catching colds, flus, and viruses because you are around so many people all day. There are some complaints that teachers would have. The tardy and absent students have to make up work and it's a pain, students are disrespectful to the teacher and other students, talking when work is supposed to be done, if students keep interrupting, and if the class doesn't participate. These kinds of things would drive a teacher insane.

Postsecondary teachers are expected to grow by 23 percent between 2006 and 2016, much faster than the average for all occupations. Because of the size of this occupation and its much faster than average growth rate, postsecondary teachers will account for 382,000 new jobs, which is among the largest number of new jobs for an occupation. Projected growth in the occupation will be primarily due to increases in college and university enrollment over the next decade.
