i have a Master's Degree in Special Education... therefore that is the area in which I am "highly qualified." You won't catch me teaching regular ed classes, because I do not have a regular ed endorsement.

Depends on where you are, what age you're in, what level of education you're teaching, what subject of interest you're planning to have, and other necessary particulars that you'll have to take into account. Above all, are you pursuing for your own personal goals or is it because of others? If financial boost (having a Master's degree) is what you're aiming at, I say, forget the whole thing; you might as well take up a Master's degree in other sought-after discipline in today's rapid changing business. You know what, even early education does not guarantee a professor of relevant discipline could really make the kids, or even adults, learn; it's the passion for their better future that helps both children and adults grow and develop themselves!

In the US it depends on the state. When I was certified (lo, these many years ago), we had five years to get a Master's degree, no matter what level or subject we were teaching, then we had a life license and we needed to take no more courses ever. That changed. Currently in IN, you do not need a Master's to teach anything, although you will get paid more if you have one. In the district where I teach, however, you get paid more for number of grad credit hours, whether or not they lead to a degree, up to a certain cap, so it's a good idea to get one. It's not such a good idea to get one directly after your B.A., because that makes you more expensive to the school system, and they want CHEAP.

Um... any and all subjects and areas are open to teachers with Master's Degrees... based on their speciality areas.
For instance, I have a Master's Degree in Special Education... therefore that is the area in which I am "highly qualified." You won't catch me teaching regular ed classes, because I do not have a regular ed endorsement.

For the college level it varies. I am attending Dalton State College. It started out as a community college and is now growing. We offer 7 bachelor's degrees. Over 60% of faculty have a Ph.d. Of the ones that don't they have a master's and have worked on 18 or more hours of their Ph.d or Ed.d level. At a University, however, I think you have to have your Ph.d. Check around on some of the colleges websites and look under job opportunities. This will show you what they are hiring for and what type of degree that is required. Good luck in your studies and future career.

Depends on the state.
Most states, like mine (Ohio) are requiring ALL teachers to get their Master's degree within a certain number of years from beginning their career. Usually 5 years.
You may as well get the Master's degree before you start. With the Master's degree, you may be able to get tenure and you'll make more every year from the beginning.

In NY, you can have an initial certificate without a Masters, but you must complete your masters within 5 years to continue teaching.

HUH? Could you repeat that with some semblance of grammar, please? I find it tacky to ask a question about teachers and Master's Degrees using grammar like that. Your question makes no sense.
