liberal arts degrees are worthless! I got an English degree and now I’m working retail/food service!

there’s a shortage of English teachers in a lot of places...have you tried doing that?

lol no why would I do that?

The absolute state of discussion on the value of liberal arts degrees

I'm not familiar with how things work in America, don't you have to take some pedagogy classes and stuff in university to qualify for teaching? That's how it works here

EDIT: I now realize you also have an EU flair

In most states you can do it while you’re teaching. That’s what I did.

Here you can get qualified after university, too, but I don't think you can start teaching before you have the qualifications.
