I've always wondered about this. Do professors actually get paid for doing research or teaching?
Is teaching actually a side job for them?

Pengwuino said:Who doesn't hate mornings? If I had my way, liking mornings would result in psychiatric examination before being allowed to work.
Oh and liking morning would immediately make you fail the test.
George Jones said:I like mornings. Typically, I go to bed around 11 pm and get up around 6 or 6:30 am, even on weekends. I once taught a course that had classes that started at 8 am. (Not scheduled by me.)

Professors have to teach because it is one of their main responsibilities as educators. They are hired by universities to share their knowledge and expertise with students and to facilitate their learning and development. Teaching is also an important way for professors to stay current in their field and to contribute to the academic community.
Yes, teaching is a requirement for professors. It is a key component of their job and is typically outlined in their employment contract. Professors are expected to teach courses, mentor students, and participate in other educational activities as part of their role at the university.
No, professors cannot choose not to teach. While they may have some flexibility in terms of their course load and teaching schedule, teaching is an essential part of their job and they are expected to fulfill their teaching responsibilities. Refusing to teach could result in disciplinary action or even termination of employment.
Despite their expertise in a particular subject, professors are still responsible for teaching because they have a unique ability to communicate complex ideas and theories to students. Teaching also allows professors to apply their knowledge in a practical and meaningful way, and to inspire future generations of scholars and professionals.
No, not all professors enjoy teaching. Some may prefer conducting research or engaging in other academic activities. However, teaching is an important part of their job and even if they do not particularly enjoy it, they are expected to fulfill their teaching responsibilities to the best of their abilities.
