I plan to get my degree in Journalism and Anthropology, but I’d like to have teaching to fall back on.So how can I teach in OK without an education degree??
i doubt any school would hire someone who isn’t licensed to teach, sorry.
sorry teaching is not a fall back position.
Here is why:
1. You cannot teach with simply your degree. You’ll need two more years of post bac work. 20k-40k of school costs depending where you earn your state certification from. perhaps if you considered journalism or anthropology your “fall-backs” it might work.
2. half of new teachers leave within 5 years. the work load and stress are the reasons they leave. That certainly is not a fall-back position.
So – your degrees are fine – but you cannot teach without more education.
