STEP FOUR IS ALWAYS PROFIT
As my own postgraduate march soldiers on, I have been thinking about the educational backgrounds of the Hogwarts staff. From my admittedly small sample group of Dumbledore, Snape, and Trelawney, it appears the route to becoming a secondary-school educator in the wizarding world goes something like:
1. Graduate from Hogwarts at the tender age of seventeen.
2. ???
3. Kill somebody more impressive than you are/ make a terrible mistake/ spill some fairly major metaphorical prophetic beans.
4. Profit.
Is there a magical graduate school, or is it all job training, like the Aurors? And for God's sake, can somebody get these people a few pedagogy courses? I love them all and I cry at the endings, but really.
