Professor 

Professor is the profession I chose related to my field of study. First, it is related to my field of study because when you study in languages it can lead you to this profession. You can teach the languages you're studying. For example, at Ahuntsic, we study Spanish and German and later you could be able to teach these two languages and also French or English, if you choose to do this at university or you could also learn another language and teach it. Being a language professor also gives you the opportunity to travel all around the world, something you do when you study in languages. The professor teaches in university, this means that he have to get his tenure.

In the text I chose, the author talks about the profession of professor and explain to us a little bit their life and also about the fact of being tenured. In the first paragraph, the author gives a brief summary of all the things a professor has to do, for example supervising laboratory experiments and also making sure students are on the good way for their researches. He also gives us information about the professor's schedules and what they do when they don't have classes, like research and getting their things prepared for their next class. The author also talks about the trouble professor have the first years because they have to publish something to have credits so they can get their tenure and it is hard to get if you don't work for it. But after he gets his tenure, it gets easier for him because he can decide about his own schedules and his way to teach.

The second paragraph talk with more details about how much time and efforts you have to put in your work to get your tenure. It gives more details about the years and the path you have to follow if you want to be teacher. For example, to be a 2 year teacher in college you need a master's degree and if you want to teach in a 4 year college or at university you need a doctoral degree, which takes about 4 to 7 year to reach. It also gives details about what you have to do to get your tenure.

The third paragraph, called present and future, talks about the future of the professor after they get their tenure and what they are currently doing at this point of their lives, now five years later and to finish 10 years later.

To conclude, the profession of professor is not that easy to reach, because of all the efforts and the time you have to put in to get your tenure and it is also related to my field of study because you can be a language's professor at university.
