Important Points from the BLS about Teaching Jobs:

1) School teachers (public school teachers) must at least have a bachelor’s degree, complete a teacher education program at an approved institution, and be licensed by the state in which they live and work.

2) Several U.S. States offer alternative programs to attract qualified candidates into teaching, especially hard-to-fill teaching positions.

3) Teaching job opportunities in the future are expected to be higher than average as people retire. This is especially the case for high school and college teachers. Teaching job opportunities will vary by geographic area and the choosen subject.
