It all depends on many factors, especially where you want to teach. Urban school districts always have a high demand for teachers, but I think jobs at suburban schools are harder to come by. If you're willing to teach at a high needs school, you'll have no trouble finding a position. But if you want to work at a very successful school, you'll find much more competition.

If the market is competitive, you'll want more than a certificate. Think about a comprehensive BA or BSc program followed by a BEd in Elementary Education. It will be six years well-spent.

every where here, for the most part are in dire need of teachers. understand, that you will have to take the board certified exam for whatever state you plan on teaching in. good luck with that. high school..........wow, you're brave.
peace

It might be hard if you want to teach at a certain school or area, but if your open to relocation it shouldn't be to difficult.

It is easier to get a position teaching English if you can spell "license" correctly.
