This is something that makes a lot of sense. I have never understood why one has to go to college for 5 years to teach 3rd grade. I think education could take a page from the Nursing industry.

My sister is now an RN and an administrator at a Retirement Community. She worked her way up from CNA (I think it takes about 3 weeks to get certified) cleaning bed pans, up to where she is today.Her schooling was paid every step of the way by the facilities that wanted her services. 

Being a teacher is absolutely ridiculous for what you get paid (no disrespect to educator). I looked at being an ad-hoc Professor at a local College here. To teach undergrad classes; I have to have a Masters (which I have) and then 3 additional classes in the discipline I want to instruct.
