Where I live there is a teacher shortage so as long as you have a bachelors from an accredited college with minimum GPA of 2.5 you can take 7 additional classes here at the local CC to get your teaching certificate. This is my plan so all I need to get started is a bachelors degree in essentially anything.  
What would be your recommendation or advice for a quick and easy degree if you simply just needed to "check the box?" I appreciate any advice and thank you all for your knowledge in this.

A BALS is probably the easiest to complete. I would also focus on doing maybe humanities or science courses for a concentration, and also taking some education courses for your free electives. The education courses wont add to your main credits for the degree, but they will help you understand a bit more about being a teacher. Child development and Psych courses would help too.

Study.com - scholarship and some decent courses (a couple of easy, interesting and quick education courses for credit)
Straighterline - excellent for gen ed credits.
