Ba Or Masters In Secondary Education?

I graduated in 2005 with a BA in History and have now realized that I want to teach. I need a teaching certificate / licensure and was wondering if any schools online offer both a certificate and masters work and or any additional endorsements in other areas, such as special education.
I have spoken with several schools around my area and it seems my only option is to take the GRE and go to a local college, but I am trying to avoid this test and just start on getting this done instead of waiting around.
Also is it better to get a cert from an online school or local college as far as getting a job post graduation?

    I did the BA program and have no regrets.

    Study for the GRE and get your masters. Or move somewhere and go to a school that doesn’t require the GRE. If you get your masters you will be more desirable to schools and you can command a higher salary. Plus masters looks better when the economy is down and jobs are tight.

    go to a local college, my college note taking teacher said that a lot of people look down on teachers who got there degree online. good luck and i hope you do well teaching.
