A Career to be Thankful for
In this new world of gig economies, wouldn’t it be nice to have a career you were truly thankful for? Instead of gassing up your car in between deliveries while you streamline someone else’s life, it’s time to go after your own dreams. You can make the most of your life, starting today. By becoming a teacher, you can make a positive impact each day while doing something you love. And best of all, with alternative teacher certification, you have access to the most streamlined path to the classroom.
Should You Become A Teacher?
Whether logging into Facebook or the local news, it seems that everyone has an opinion about teachers and our schools these days. On Facebook, parents excitedly share pictures of their children as they head to the first day of school. Other people share links for GoFundMe fundraisers for their local classrooms. Or, if you’re watching national news, the education system may seem a bit more dire. But at the end of the day, teachers remain a backbone in our local communities. Teaching is a steady career that allows people to make a positive impact in their hometowns every day. And this time of year, we remember that teaching is truly a career you can be thankful for.
What is there to love about teaching? We asked, and our alumni answered. American Board teacher graduates across the nation have expressed gratefulness for their teaching careers this year. Some note that their students are what keep them going, while others are particularly grateful be to a part of their home districts. By watching the videos below, you can hear directly from teachers about why this is a career they love.

American Board’s online teacher certification is fast and affordable. In fact, most teacher graduates earn their certificates in about six months. The program allows you to leverage the skills and knowledge you already have instead of forcing you back to a university for more in-person classes and more debt.
