What is a "professor" at the community college level?
AFAIK there is no such thing. -

AFAIK there is no such thing.Sure there is. Some require a PhD for prof status, others require at least a Masters and a certain number of years teaching or other related professional experience.

I've been an adjunct, with a doctorate, which is the bottom of the latter, can't even pay the bills. I've been an associate professor and an assistant professor, and all three of these are represented by the AFT, with union contracts. To be a full professor, is to earn tenure, and then be a member of the AAUP, which is a full professor.
At the community college level, there are instructors and lecturers. And, some call themselves professors just because they are teaching in a post-secondary institution. Professor is a formal rank, recognized by accrediting institutions and requiring minimum credentials. Teaching at a community college is closer to teaching at a high school, that it is teaching at a state university or private college/university.
I'm not sure how much difference there is between states, as opposed to regions. And, there is a lot of nonsense that goes on with academic ranks, honorary doctorates, endowed positions, etc. -

Depends upon the definition of community college in your state. For many years LSUE would have been considered a community college.
They're not overrun with PhD 's, but they got 'em.

Another observation...A DON I knew, actually preferred A.D. nurses for floor nurses as compared to BSRN's. She thought they generally had as much hands-on training and were more willing to learn (nursing, like a lot of other jobs, benefits greatly from real-world experience). Her opinion was that BSRN's oftentimes thought they came through the door thinking they knew more than what they did.

I'm really surprised. I wonder how a person becomes a professor (obtains the rank of) at a community college, maybe teaching courses that are recognized as transfer credits to a 4-year university?
I've never heard of a guy teaching auto body repair at our community college referred to as professor. -

I've never heard of a guy teaching auto body repair at our community college referred to as professor.Again, it boils down as to what is a community college in your state. For many years, we had several 4-year universities, four 2-year "community colleges" and a slew of Vo-techs. About 10 years ago, they changed the Vo-techs to community colleges (they taught remedials along with the technical courses). They changed a couple of the two years to four years (LSUA and LSUS), but the two 2-year degree granting schools I know of are LSUE in Eunice and Degado in New Orleans.
Here are Delgado's areas of study:
