Hello - I am writing for some career information, and hopefully some advice!
I would like to become a statistics professor at a community college or junior college. Right now, I am planning to apply to get a Master's in statistics (with an undergrad degree unrelated to either math or teaching, and a few years of experience in unrelated office environments) after taking some math classes. I don't really want to get a PhD, but I know that I totally loved the stats classes I took (3 semesters, and a semester of econometrics), and I even had the opportunity to act as a teaching assistant, which was one of the best experiences I had as an undergrad. My questions are: 1) Do you have recommendations for programs that have an emphasis on teaching or how I could find this information? 2) Do you have any advice about this as a field - is it so narrow to render finding a job too hard? Do professors at colleges like this specialize in one field, or will I likely be required to also teach other math classes? Thank you for any help you can offer!
