Professor is a pretty serious title in Australia, I've only met one who was under 40.
Buuuuuuuuut.... this is a US TV show, so I give them a pass on pretty much anything that is going to make it easier for viewers to understand.
I just hope that watching Chidi struggle with working on his [whatever it is] is enough of a deterrent to most of those who think philosophy professor looks like a fun job, (I mean, I'm sure it can be and I used to desperately want it, but the job opportunities are awful and there are lots of other good contexts to engage in ideas about ethics.)
I do enjoy the constant reminder that everyone hates moral philosophers :-D
