How to change careers and become a high school English teacher?

We Answered:

That should not be hard at all. There are a lot of high school in the United States that are begging for qualified teachers. Since school has already started for the ending of 2006, if you just want to make a fresh start at being a teacher, provided that you do have all of the qualifications, whatever work you're doing now, stick with for the income and give notice by next Summer. If your paperwork is in order I'm sure by taking the time now to apply for next year, someone will offer you that job that you want. It's all about scheduling. Remember that! It's all about the scheduling.
PS: Don't let anyone or anything hold you back for what you want to do in life! Just go for it!

My father, 52 years old, want to change careers and become a teacher.?

Good for him. There is a shortage of good teachers. He has to decide at which level he wants to teach, then check with the local school board or state to find out what certification he needs. As a seasoned businessman, he may be able to get a position at a community college or as an executive in residence at a university business school. Many colleges hire business people to teach courses that their faculty cannot cover. While he does that he may be able to prepare for the necessary certification for high school or grammar school teaching.
