You are in the perfect state! I teach in Mississippi. Don't you know there's a huge shortage here? Come to the delta! We need you desperately! Any of the delta schools could use a good teacher! Just start applying to the schools in the delta or in Jackson for that matter. Public schools need you!

Well I must say you have chosen a highly marketable degree in education. What you can teach is based on what grade level your degree is based. You can teach 4-8 science which generally consists of General Science, Life Science & Earth Science. In the higher level grades, there are several factors that are dependent upon what you may teach. In grades 9-12, what you may teach is based upon which science area you specialized in - such as physical & earth science, physical & life science/biology, physical & chemistry, physics & chemistry, environmental science and so forth. In the high school level, you specialize in a certain science area and then receive your teaching credentials to teach that area. If you have just a general bachelor degree in science education, you would probably be best fit for the mid-level grades, unless of course you specialized in a particular area, and then you could teach high school.
If I can be of any assistance, please feel free to contact me.

You can teach anything with a bachelor's degree. It might be helpful for you, however, to obtain a teaching certification. You may also find that you can have some of your student loans from college can be forgiven for becoming a teacher. That is if you have any student loans.

Do some research online or preferably, go to the career center at your alma mater and see if you can meet with a career counselor. Some colleges do this for alumni for either some cost or nothing at all; depending on the type of college.

Review your resume for the area in which you have 21 hours of course work - i,e - MAT, ENG, etc. This is the area you are considered highly qualified...necessary now due to NCLB Act 2001.

It depends on what your specifications are in. Also, they look at how many of your hours are concentrated in what subject. Come on over to MS. We need more teachers!
