A fantastic teacher. And you know what else could make arriving at class a breeze? You wouldn't want to miss a day if a famous person was trying to teach you something, would you?

Snoop Dogg has a great mastery of the English language as well as a talent for creative writing, which explains why many of his raps contain witty metaphors, similes, and idioms. Furthermore, only a true grammar enthusiast would be eager to continuously stretch their spelling abilities and word knowledge in their songs, as Snoop D-O-double G does. Snoop Dogg would almost certainly be an English professor if he went into education.

#2 Jessica Lange — Performing Arts Professor

Jennifer Lopez is a proudly accomplished dancer who emphasizes her dance career over her career as a singer and actress. It is clear from her intense love of dancing that Jenny from the block would be a wonderful college professor of dance history.

Oprah Winfrey turned her talk show "The Oprah Winfrey Show" into a multibillion-dollar media empire that includes Oprah Magazine, the OWN network, and Harpo Production Studios. Oprah has a net worth of $2.6 billion as a result of all of this. Oprah clearly understands how to make and handle money; thus, if she were an economics professor, she would be unbeatable.

Kim Kardashian is the queen of publicity and is an expert at promoting a brand. Kim Kardashian is a genius when it comes to spin and damage control. Kim K should have returned to school for a public relations and marketing degree because she already has access to the foundation, in my opinion, rather than earning a law degree.

#14 Nick Cannon — Mass Communication & Journalism Professor

Nick Cannon has always had a way with words. Cannon has used his charisma and flair to host television shows such as "America's Got Talent" and "The Masked Singer" over the years. Cannon also has his podcast, Cannon's Class, as well as a radio show on Power 106 called Nick Cannon Mornings. All of Cannon's on-air hosting positions signify to us that the 41-year-old Wild 'N Out creator would have been a bomb a** mass comm slash journalism professor in a parallel world.
