If you want to contribute to future generations, training to work in teaching may be your logical next step. Teacher assisting training programs typically last two years and result in an associate degree. The process to become a teacher varies by state but typically requires a bachelor's degree and completion of a teacher training program. If you already have a bachelor's degree, alternative training may be completed depending on your state of residence. Salaries for teachers and teacher assistants vary by location, experience and training. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that teacher assistants in 2007 saw mean annual earnings of $22,820, while secondary school teachers earned $52,450 and elementary school teachers earned $50,040.
