There are two ways you might receive some financial benefits for being a caregiver. In some states, you might be able to get paid as a home care aide if the state Medicaid program is paying home care benefits to the person you're caregiver for. But for you to get such payments, you'd have to be certified by the state as a home care provider.
4 Masters Degree Vs. A bachelor's degree is the basic requirement at virtually all colleges and universities in order to become a teacher. The number of credit hours depends upon the requirements of the specific college or university, but most institutions require 120 semester hours or 180 quarter hours. The distribution of credit hours between core credits, major area credits, professional education credits and elective credits differs depending upon institution.
At most colleges and universities (with conventional semester systems) 12 credit hours is considered the minimal number of hours for full-time status. This means that you will spend 12 hours in the classroom each week. (Typically M - F - most classes being 3 credit hours and meeting twice a week for 1 1/2 hours. So you would sign up for four 3-hour courses.) Many full-time students take 15 credit hours (five 3-hour courses).
