What college degree should i get?

I am going back to college for an education degree-what is the best degree to get in Michigan?

  • I have a BA in Business but want to do something in education. Michigan is a tough state to get a teaching job in right now, but things may be different in 2 or so years when I am done with my degree. I am open to special ed, counseling, etc. Can anyone recommend a direction?

  • Answer:

    Special Education Teachers take special people to be one. Make sure in your heart that you want to take on the extra challenges to work with students with special needs..whether physically or academically handicapped. Most states are making it a bit tougher to be in education, with the Praxis Series and such. You can either go back and get your education degree the traditional way, spending close to another 4 years receiving your bachelor's and then Masters. Or, look into the alternative licensure route (look on your state's department of education website) to see what steps you need to do that. Most of the time, its receiving a Masters, taking a few college courses and passing the Praxis tests. Good Luck.

Speical ed is usually the easiest area to get a teaching position because the burn out rate in that field are the highest. However, what I would suggest you do is get dual certification with something you like to do with a special education certification. Good Luck!!!

Special ed will definitely give you an advantage over the many other teachers who do not have it.

special ed---get a bssped (bachelor's of science in special ed) or just a master's in it since you already have a bachelor's special ed teachers are more far and few---and many of them get burnt out quicker than regualr ed teachers---thus, making more available jobs to you

Science, but not life science. Chemistry or physics degrees are in demand. Special ed is always in demand due to the burnout rate.
