I'm currently making a career change as well. I have a BSBA
and have been in sales for 18 years. I found out about a
program called Career Switcher in VA. Its a crash course in
getting certified as a teacher. You have to take several
state tests but after 9 weeks of teacher related courses,
you can get a provisional license. As long as you have a
bachelors and fiver years of work experience you can do it.
If I were you google Career Switcher for your state. Their
should be some local universities there that offer the
program. Good Luck......
