Answer 3

To be a teacher, you have to get a bachelor's degree as well as a teaching certificate in the state where you want to teach. In order to get the teaching certificate, you might have to travel somewhere to do your student teaching for at least one semester, so you might have to spend extra money for housing and/or transportation during that semester. So, figure out how much your tuition, housing, food, and books will be to get The Bachelor's degree, and then add the semester for student teaching. Some teaching certificates require a master's degree, so you might have to get a second degree, which will add at least another year, and maybe 2 years, to your program. You will have to pay graduate tuition to get that degree. Once you have your teaching certificate, it is hard to find a job, and the pay is not very good.
