I'm almost finished with a teaching credential program, but have discovered (kind of late, i know) that I hate teaching. I'm a few weeks away from finishing, so I might as well...
but if i don't teach, is having the credential good for anything? in the way of getting another job? ANYTHING?

I would recommend NOT teaching unless your heart is 100% in it, especially at the start of your "career."
You will find that many jobs look for a college education--no matter what the degree. (Such as a military officer) Moreover, other non-teaching jobs would depend on you content area. English teachers my be suited for the publishing industry, journalism, or the like.
Good Luck....

Not really, but maybe something more administratively related or working with youth in a different capacity like at the YMCA or juvenile justice.

Your degree alone will be enough to get you a different type of job. Please, please don't apply to be a teacher. There is no worse job to be in if you hate it. Do yourself and your future students a favor by NOT teaching.
