Pretty sure you have to both have a Bachelors Degree and a teaching certificate which requires taking a few tests. Trust me, you want the degree regardless. It will add to your paycheck no matter what you do.

This is really a state-by-state issue and varies greatly depending on where you live or wish to teach. Each state has their own requirements and rules for teaching in the public school system. Most states are going to require a teaching certificate or license and a bachelor's degree in education or the subject area you are teaching. I would check with your state's department of education for all the rules and regulations regarding this question.

In NY all public school teachers need a masters degree. A high school teacher needs a masters in the subject area. Each state is different.
