Anyone with a bachelors can apply to the J.E.T program and teach in Japan for a year. Google JET.

ask your state...if you have a masters, they don't always want the masters in teaching...(even if they do, they will hire you and let you take classes at night..)

You might be able to do some teaching at the college level, but you won't be able to become a professor. I did that on the side and enjoyed it a lot.

community college's usually require a master's degree to teach in a given field
5
You should be qualified to teach social sciences. You will just need to get a teaching certificate from the state. Each state has different requirements, look it up. Getting a teaching certificate shouldn't be a very long process (a couple months tops)

I dont believe you could unless you wanted to teach college because they dont require a teaching degree only a masters or p.h.d for elementry high school you have to do more school and get a teaching degree...or become a teachers aid but thats not a good option...

To teach in a public school system, you will need a teaching certificate (from the state) and most of them require you to have a teaching degree. A few states have a "professional entry" path where is someone agrees to supervise you, you can work as a teacher and after a while get your certificate without a formal education degree. Worth asking. Other options: try private schools, which often don't require teaching certificates. Or if you want to teach social work, a community college might hire you with only your masters degree (paticularly if you have an MSW and work or have worked as a professional social worker)

Many school districts want to hire people from the workforce and will get them emergency certifications. But most teachers have to do "professional development" to renew their certificates. This means more classes. You had better try out teaching before you invest in it by taking classes. It's not like it used to be. It's a lot of very hard work which is unappreciated. Much of it is now paperwork. You have to write detailed lesson plans and teach what the state tells you to teach. The creativity is gone. My advice to you is to call up some nearby schools and introduce yourself. Maybe the principal will hire you. Also, you could substitute teach to see how you like it.

I have a friend who wanted to become a doctor. He never was accepted at any of the medical schools he applied to and enrolled in a school of osteopathy. He is intellectually very honest and got thrown out of the osteopathy school during his manipulation classes when he said that osteopathic manipulation had no therapeutic value. His undergraduate degree was in biology, and, of course, he greatly increased his scientific knowledge while he was a student of osteopathy. He came back to Los Angeles, and is now working as a substitute teacher even though he has taken no education courses. He should be highly valued as a teacher once he is fully credentialed because of his math and science background. I think that if you came to Los Angeles, you could immediately find work as a substitute teacher with the Los Angeles Unified School district. In time you may get a job as a long-term sub lasting about a year or so. This will enable the principal at the school to get to know you better. If he or she likes you, he may hire you as a permanent teacher while you work for your credential. Good luck! Harleigh Kyson Jr.

You only real option will be to teach within a private school. - You may be able to get a provisional license in some states as you go back and work on the credential. Now if you want to work in special education your MSW may work to you advantage. You might also look at a charter school or alternative school - in some of these places you degree and experience working with youth at risk would be seen as an advantage. DA
