Herbert loved Herbology. He was good at it to and he understood it in a way that not many people did. He had wanted to do something a little more with Herbology, but was never able to.
Although he didn't dream of being a teacher, he was excited when he became the Herbology professor at Hogwarts under Armando Dippet. He hoped his love for the subject might inspire future generations to pursue a career in it.
He also had another love, and that was for the dramatics. When he grew weary of teaching Herbology for the simple reason that the students only attended the class because they were forced to their first five years, he left Hogwarts to teach at the Rewarding Academy of Dramatic Arts. There, he met students who yearned to know more. They respected his expertise and attended because they wanted to learn more, not because they had to.
Teaching at W.A.D.A. was definitely a better fit for him.
