I am thinking of becoming a teacher - does anyone have
some advice (i have only tutored/babysat for years and my
degree is in communications (media)) on how im supposed to

i currently work in online marketing and while i have a

A CA multi subject teaching credential is basically the same as an
elementary credential in WA. Elementary positions are hard to come by -
depending on where in WA you want to teach. I live in the Tri Cities and
