I teach at the grade school level. I don't teach at the college level. I will tell you that not all colleges require masters degrees. My cousin oversees the program for heating and air certification at the local technical college here. He has no college degree, but a lot of experience in the business.perhaps it's just the area of the country in which you live, or just the culture of the college. Maybe you should research the Internet. You could find a college that would accept you as you are. Also, you could take masters courses part time.
Number 1: I have absolutely NO desire to move.
Number 2: At my age, I have no desire to go back to school and get a masters degree - not cost/benefit effective.
Number 3: My point is - Having a "teaching degree" does not necessarily make for a good/qualified teacher. I'm proof positive of that. I can't tell you the number of students that have been to numerous other computer classes that have told me that they never understood the "how to" until they took my classes. It takes patience, understanding each student, thorough knowledge of the subject of the course and most importantly - the DESIRE to pass on your knowledge not just the "reward" of a paycheck!
