[quote=Anonymous]Yeah look into the online degree places like Western Governors University. No one cares where you get it. WGU have a very transparent pricing system, you can look at it here:

If you’re looking for the CHEAPEST option: it is to find a job, have the county help you get a provisional license, and then work while you obtain your license. Beware though that usually if you go this route, you better prepare to stick through tough times. Jobs from this route are mostly in rough schools and tough grades (4th/5th grade). But if you make it through you can get a license and leave to find a better job afterwards. This takes about 1-2 years depending on the program you chose.

I would recommend just choosing the cheapest online school instead and get your license so you have a chance to get a better job. Elementary is not easy to teach, although I personally believe that the PreK/K/1st grade are the best grades to start out with if you have any interest in working with the primary grades. The students are overall very happy and excited about school at that age. The people who did this route subbed in the day for income (or worked as a TA) and then went to online school at night until they’re done and then they apply for a teaching job. The timeline depends on your program like the other. [/quote]
