After my freshman year of college I took a year off, partially due to financial problems, and partially due to not having been ready for college at the time.
I got a job as a teacher at a Tennessee elementary school. The title was "substitute teacher", for which there were no formal requirements(maybe a G.E.D., I don't remember), but I had the same kids every day I was there, which was every day of the week.
There will always be teachers, whether or not they can do the job well, we'll have to wait and see.
