Does anyone teach college?

Question

I'm trying to get an idea of how to get into teaching college without the obvious Ph.D. I plan on going for Ph.D., but not at this time. I'm wondering if I should just start by teaching children and then move on to college when I go back to Ph.D?

Answer 1

I just finished my MA, have taught at a TA, have a position at a community college right now, and will be starting my PhD in the fall. I suggest that, if you want to teach at a college/university, to start with a BA in your field (don't worry about getting a teaching certification if you don't want to teach pre-college). Then start working on your MA/MS. Community colleges and junior colleges, as well as some small universities/colleges, do hire MA students. You can go right on to your PhD and hopefully get an assistantship so you start teaching when you begin your MA/MS, but taking some time off is an option too.

Good luck
