Goal: Music Teacher

[cookderosa]

How about WGU to become a licensed teacher, and then a MA in Music somewhere (maybe the Rio Salado program after he's done?)?

a good idea EXCEPT that a masters is risky for k12 teachers out of the gate. He'd have a hard time getting hired, especially in NC. If he were already a teacher, I think this would work because he'd have a job and they'd have to give him a raise.
My next door neighbor spent 7 academic years as a licensed teacher with a master's degree (she held a BA in something else and her license was integrated in her master's) and after 7 straight years of subbing and no contracts, she finally went into office work. My brother's master's was carefully planned (he is a high school music teacher/band director) but only started after he'd earned tenure at his high school.
