I've had quite a few YouTube viewers ask me questions along these lines: I like what I see you're doing, teaching Philosophy, and I think I'd like to do that too. What would I have to do to become a Philosophy teacher?

In this video, I answer those kinds of questions. I talk about what's involved in getting an academic position teaching Philosophy,bits of the story of how I got to where I am, some of the lessons I had to learn the hard way along the road -- and I also stress that one doesn't have to go out and get a degree in order to do, or even to teach Philosophy well.
