Have to go to a 4 year for a teaching credential.

i have my BA in american studies

A teaching credential is only offered at a university, not junior college.

If you wanted to teach English in another country, you could get a TESL certificate. You'd have your pick of countries to work in as well. Your bachelors degree should suffice in many countries for a work visa. Think about what a cool experience it would be! Japan, for i.e., recently made English compulsory in schools. Thanks for your post.
