I have no TIME!!
I have most of my general ed out of the way, but I am 25, a single mother, and desperate for help. Lol
I worry that I am starting too late, and I just wanted to know if anyone on here had a little extra guidance to point me in the right direction.

I want to have a bachelors degree, and my teaching certification within the next 5-6 years! Is that possible? :confused::D

P.S. I am very determined to accomplish this

Is it possible? Of course.

Hi, Rolly_Pollie!

It may be possible. But, it would help us to know the location from which you're wanting to get the teacher's certificate.

There may be time limits involved here as to how long it has been since you've been in school as well as further classes that you might need to now take because of the amount of time that it would take you to complete the coursework to be able to apply for the certificate.

Thanks!

Of course its possible as long as you want it...
Have you started to do something NOW?

And you are never out of time there are people in their 50's, 60's and plus in college right now going back to learn new skills or change careers.

But it all depends on how many college hours you need, how many hours a week you can go to college and how much hard work you want to put into it.

At 25, you have plenty of time! I went back when my kids were all in school and finished in about 4 years when I was 40. I had started of high school many years earlier, but stopped to raise my children, and was able to have some of the previous gen. ed. Classes count when I went back to finish. You'll find the classes you take will have students right out of high school, in their 50's and 60's like Fr_Chuck mentioned, and everywhere between.

Look at which colleges or universities you are considering. They will list the courses and credits required to complete your Education degree. They will also show a break down of how you may want to take your classes... for example: fall semester they may suggest Intro to Education... 3 credits, Teaching Diverse Populations... 3 credits, Technology in the Classroom... 3 credits, and so on. Most of the time, you will choose which classes from the options available that you will take and when.

Obviously the more credits you can take each semester, the sooner you will finish. You may find several classes that you can complete online as well which can save some travel time.

Speak to a counselor at the school you are considering, or check out their website, and go over what may work best with your schedule.
