Joseph: What do they call each other then?
Ishti ve Ba’ali? or My husband and My Wife?
Mr. _____ and Mrs. ______ ?
Meno: Professor is a huge title in academia. Typically that comes with tenure. College “professors” often begin as Instructors (or not even that if they are adjuncts). Then if they’re blessed they can move on to higher titles such as Assistant Professor before Professor.
Many “professors” (lowercase p intentional) have doctorates. Some have their highest level of education as master’s. Either way, not every Dr. professor becomes an actual, Professor of _______.
So IMHO Professor wins out; yet I called some Professors by their Professor title and others by Dr.
scared driver delight: Here is the rule of thumb for this kind of thing: Even if someone is a Professor, Dr., King, and Rabbi, Pizza Delivery Driver always supersedes any other title.
