I didn't know that. Years ago, back when my college was still a community college, pretty much every instructor had a master's degree. The only one who didn't was, in my opinion, the best professor I've ever had. However, she was an exceptionally talented person who had a lot of previous experience. (It's also worth noting that she has a master's now and is studying for her doctorate.)

"I'm not qualified to teach college courses."That's basically the way I feel, too. I know I could teach this class, but my bachelor's degree is in IT, not networking. The idea of actually teaching a class is still a bit scary to me, especially in a subject that I don't feel fully qualified to teach. That said, I have a feeling that some of these nationally-accredited colleges are hiring people far less qualified than I am.
Course clear! You got a card.
