Are you aware that the only requirement to become a licensed state teacher is that you have to have at least 10K hours on a specific job? No teaching school at all.
The reason this isn't so widely known is that the various Schools won't allow you to teach without attending College of some kind and obtaining a Bach in Education.
You can teach in your field if you get an Occupational Educational Certificate in most states. You can be employed by a private school that may have different requirements. With such a certificate, you are eligible to teach in all levels of education except a University. I love it when a school cries that they can't find competent teachers when they could get people from Industry who can qualify with very little money involved.
At one time, I had an Occupational Degree in Computers (all things computer) from the state and started my own school. Since I was a licensed teacher, it was an accredited school just like an college. But I couldn't get a job teaching the same thing in the local High Schools since they required a Bachelors in Education but had no requirement for actually knowing anything about the subject to teach.
