Sometimes… not always, but sometimes… I regret not picking up my teacher’s license back when I was in college. It would give a writer like me a handy fallback career, being able to teach. Of course, that’s kind of why I didn’t pick it up to begin with; because I don’t think teaching should be viewed as a fallback career, but as a calling.
If I ever change my mind, however, it’s nice to know that there are resources available now such as I never had back when I was attending college in the late 1980s and early 1990s. Resources like an online university as well as online degree programs such as are found at Western Governor’s University.
With several areas of specialization, it’s far more convenient for working people to train and get licensed as teachers these days at a place like WGU. And more convenience will ultimately mean more and better teachers available to teach children to become tomorrow’s leaders. What could be better?
