If you choose to become a teacher, you can get a teaching
certificate or credential during your 4 year college experience with good planning and a
single major. If you are interested in more than one area of study it might take 5. If
you do not decide early enough, it will take 5 years. A typical college experience is
somewhere between 120-150 credits. A typical college class is 3-4 credits and a college
student will take about 12-20 credits a semester.
We should
teach because of the transmission of culture. If we don't learn from history or add to
the body of knowledge we do not grow as a society. It takes a teacher to ensure this
happens.
Likewise, we need to learn to learn. Teachers
should work themselves almost out of a job. If teachers can motivate people to become
life-long learners, we have achieved our purpose.
