  <info>&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt; Most people who get a bachelor's in education go on to be a teacher. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt; Students in education can choose to major just in education, or choose another specialty, like biology or English, to teach.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;A first year teacher with bachelor's degree makes between $26,700 and $31,000. &lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt; How does someone earn a bachelor's degree in education? &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt; A bachelor's degree is a four year degree offered through colleges and universities.  An aspiring teacher can choose to earn a major in any subject, along with a teaching certificate, or they can get a bachelor's degree in education with an endorsement in elementary, middle, secondary or special education.  All programs are slightly different, so it's best to do some research of education schools to find the best fit.  In order to become a practicing teacher, individuals need to earn a bachelor's degree as well as a teaching certificate, which requires a student teaching internship.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What career opportunities are available for an educator with a bachelor's degree?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Teaching is the most common opportunity taken up by professionals with education degrees.  Teacher's have a choice between specializing in either the elementary, middle, or secondary level of education.  Teachers who show a high level of excellence and leadership ability are often asked to lead a department within their school.  Some teachers also choose not to teach in traditional schools and, instead, go into curriculum design or corporate training.  These branches of education, however, require a bit more experience and training beyond the bachelor's degree.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;How much money does an educator with a bachelor's degree make?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt;A starting public school teacher with a bachelor's degree has an average yearly salary ranging between $26,700 and $31,000.  Those with many more years of experience can make up to $70,000 a year.   The national average for an annual teacher salary is $46,600.  Private school teachers usually earn slightly less than public school teachers, but they may be given other benefits, such as free or subsidized housing.  Teachers can boost their salary by working with students in extracurricular activities, such as coaching sports, or by earning an advanced degree, such as a master's degree or national certification. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;What are the advantages and disadvantages of earning a bachelor's degree in education online?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Earning a bachelor's degree in education online lets a student have the freedom to take classes from home, since teaching programs require a student teaching internship, most will split training time between online and on-campus time.  One of the major benefits of an online program is that they allow students the flexibility to have a job or pursue other interests while earning their degree.  Those who are interested in an online teaching program should check with school counselors to find out how they run their programs.&lt;/p&gt;
