<p>Anyone have any insight on becoming a teacher? My gf is in college and I'm kinda wondering the path. I know like how to go about engineering, medicine, pharmacy, etc, but I have absolutely no clue about teaching.</p>
<p>Are there classes to take from the education department or whatever? Oh and she's majoring in English.</p>
<p>I have a very close friend that wants to teach as well. It depends what you want to teach and where. If you're talking about K-12 then my friend is majoring in math and psychology. She's applying to the Master's in Education program as a senior at Rutgers University.</p>
<p>...and if you want to become a professor and teach in a university, I believe you need to pursue a PhD and do some hard-core research. Like what Polo said, it really depends what you want to teach.</p>
