BA English, minors in theatre and psychology. With the BA, I also earned my first Colorado teaching license (it's renewable every five years). Eight years later, whilst teaching secondary English full time, I earned my MA in Education -- K-12 Reading and Writing. It took four years since I was working full time.
Last summer, I earned Qualified Teacher Status in England. I moved here in 2000 (British husband) after having taught in Colorado for 17 years. I first spent two years at an American school near London, but the commute was too far. Therefore, in September 2002, I started at an English school. With my degrees, experience and having observed a lesson I taught (in England, they make you teach a half hour lesson as part of the interview process), they hired me. In order to earn more money, though, I needed to obtain a teaching license here, and I finally jumped through those hoops.
Btw -- good luck with Planned Parenthood. When I was still in Colorado, I moonlighted for seven years (from '93-'00) at a women's health clinic aimed at low-income women. I loved working there.
