I'm attending a college for a Bachelor's in Early Childhood Education. My goal is to become a teacher in a public school district after graduation. The reason I didn't want to do a degree in Elementary Education, is because it will take longer now that I'm already half way done, but also because I don't want to teach Kindergarten, I'd rather teach the younger children. My question is, will I be able to get into a school district with a Bachelor's in ECE? Or do I need to go further and get a teaching certificate? Also, can I expect around $25k-30k for salary? Thanks for the input!

Have you thought about teaching in Head Start or Migrant Head Start? They commonly accept that degree without the certificate and you can be expect to be paid the salary you seek, if not higher. Some public schools do require the ZA endorsement to teach in their early childhood programs.

I have a bachelors in Child Development. I know that I am required to have a ZA endorsement for MOST public school teacher positions!
