Hi all,

This is Johnny. Let me introduce myself. I graduated from
UC Berkeley with a M.S degree in Mechanical Engineering
in 2014. I want to be a high-school Math teacher (AP Math
AB & BC), or possibly a AP physics teacher as well in the
future. Currently, I am browsing through the job
requirements on websites. There is one thing I am mainly
concerned about. I don't have a degree of Math or
Physics. But supposed that I got the teaching credential
and also I had related teaching experience, could I have
a chance to be a high-school teacher? Do those hiring
managers only consider the candidates with Math/Physics
degrees?

Right now, I am considering whether it is worth devoting
my time to get a credential because I don't have
Math/Physics degrees. So based on your experience, would
a hiring manager consider to hire someone with all the
things ready but the degree of Math/Physics?

(My academic histroy: M.S GPA 3.76 and B.S GPA 3.69,
straight A's on Math and Physics Classes in college.
Also, I am tutoring AP Math/Physics in two educational
consulting firms. My ultimate goal is to be a high-school
Math/Physics teacher in the future.)

Sincerely,
Johnny
