Hello Aspirant,

See both the professions mentioned by you play different roles and they both have good career opportunities in their own field. So here what matters is your interest like if you are good in teaching and you have interest in teaching then definitely you should go with an assistant professor post but if you like to write content and you have good interest in it then you can also make your good career in the field of content writing.

To make you more clear let me discuss some of the career opportunities for both the fields :-

@Content Writing

>>>>> Freelancer, you can work as a freelancer like you can create your own website or you can start your own blog and post the content of any particular niche.

>>>>> Content development specialist who works on the trending topics and create content strategies to promote their content.

>>>>> Web content manager like you can work for SEO of websites and can get paid for them with very decent amount.

@Assistant professor

After being an assistant professor you got an only option that is to teach in the colleges/universities and where after promotion you will get higher posts like of professor.

So in broad prospect, content writing is the field where there is lot of money and there is no any fixed amount because through your content you can generate lot of revenue but being an assistant professor you will be confined in a limited pay but if your interest is in teaching then this profession can also pays you well.

I hope this information helps you.

Good Luck!!
