What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider pursuing?
Teach for America is a program similar to the Peace Corps. There are also emergency credential programs that allow you to teach without a full credential.
If you pursue an emergency credential, I recommend finding a program like Teach for America. These programs offer a support system and a network of people to encourage you. This way, you won't feel alone.
