I am seeing not much out there in terms with my bachelor's degree in marketing. So... I have reconsidered my options in life and I am pondering what would it take for me to become a secondary education teacher...


ATOT can you help ballmode out? :)


I believe all I need is to add 2 years to my bachelor's degree for a masters in teaching....

Try Teach For America... you sign a 2 year contract and by the end you receive a teachers certificate/masters.

Depends on what state you live in I would assume. Here in Virginia they have a career switcher program if you want to teach that will allow you to work as a teacher while working to get certified as long as you meet some initial requirements.

This is one of those things that seems like a good idea at first, but over time you will fall into an abyss of stupidity from which there is no escape.

Teaching computing to people = frustrating job

My wife did this and its a great program. Be prepared to relocate, though; TFA places teachers in areas where they are needed most: inner cities and poor rural areas. They do pay for a masters education, however.
