Tuition for the non-resident can be a killer. Do you know how many years you will be in the US? Community colleges are significantly cheaper than universities. The credits normally will transfer to a regular university, so you can save money on the first 2 years of an education degree.

Or you could look at training for another field that may be useful in the future... something technical/computer or business related. They do give Associate Degrees. (more like a cert...)

Common sense 007... the problem is pretty much the same for the British teachers in the UK, the Aussies teachers in OZ, and on and on. Too many English teachers...

And yes, there is a shortage of math and science teachers because with those majors you have the opportunity for jobs that pay much better than teaching. (but then... with the downturn, some of them may return the teaching.)
