Default What kind of hard work is required to become a full universityprofessor?

I was thinking of becoming a university professor. But I was deterred by the
thought of all those years as a lowly graduate student grading the work of
undergraduates. And then all those years clawing my way through the ranks of
academia and grading the work of graduate students. Then all those years of
publications and peer review. Endless grading, no end to grading. Can anyone
tell me if there is a golden path to excellence that short circuits all that
boring grading? Thanks in advance for the help.



Come on, teaching is also fun. Currently I have a 10 week 10 students
project, they are designing a virtual planetary satellite mission and it
is always fun to supervise the project.
