What fantasy land are you living in

We affectionately call it Ohio.

-B.S.E. (Thats a bachelors of science (four-year degree)) in Education
-Pass background check
Pass the Praxis
Pay your $48 fee
Have "good moral character"

Away you go.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever held a full-time, career-oriented job for any length of time?

BTW, here's the teacher base pay salary scale for Cleveland OH http://www.cmsdnet.net/jobs/base_teacher_salary_schedule_2003.htm. Note that all those figures are for 39 weeks, while the people paying those salaries are working 50 weeks. You can make anywhere from $33k up to $47k with a bachelors degree, that equates to $42k - $60k in private sector salary based on a 50 week year.

Northern Ohio salaries, based on this report http://lmi.state.oh.us/EDR/Archive/2002/Report_Northern.PDF average $35308, so an entry level teacher in one of the worse school districts in the nation, makes more than the average citizen sending their children to school.
