3. No, you don't need another 4 year degree!

I wanted to teach for over 20 years, after graduating with a degree in Chemistry. I finally got off my butt and completed a teacher prep program. It took me about 18 months, start to finish, to complete 7 academic classes in education, a couple of seminars, and student teaching.

I went to a community college that had a mostly online program. It made things much easier because of work and family responsibilities. The entire program was about $3000. A friend of mine did it at University of Phoenix and paid $11,000. Guess what? The first year of teaching the salary is crap regardless of where you went to school and whether you did a post-bac program or have a BA in Education.

Where do you live?
