I would like to become a Teacher in the state of texas but.........?

Question

I would love to become a teacher in the state of Texas and was wondering if anyone out there in yahoo - land has just done this, I would like to go to college to become a teacher but I am afraid of what the cost is to go to college for four years, does anyone know how much that would run for all four years, and does any know if there are any grants or any programs out there? I am 29 years old if that helps out at all.

Thank you in advance for helping me, any information is greatly appericated. Blessings!!!

Answer 1

Make sure you are married to somebody with a more lucrative profession.

Answer 2

Well I am a teacher in Texas and I did not get my degree in education.  If you already have a degree that is totally unrelated to education all you need now is a certification. Most big districts have a certification program you can apply for where you can work and get certified at the same time.  If you dont have a degree then I would suggest checking out those schools that have an online degree program.  Those classes are cheaper.  Check with the different universities as far as scholarships are concerned.  All the programs I know of are for newly graduating seniors who want to be teachers.  School will probably cost about $50,000 for four years but there are programs that will help repay your school loans if you teach in a low-socioeconomic school for a minimum of like four years.

Answer 3

well continue ya education what that is needed in texas and go for it.get a state grant try a scholarship. good luck
