Within the US, if you plan on teaching at the college or university level, you have the minimum degree requirement although a doctorate is preferred. If you plan on teaching within the public school system pre-K through high school, you will have to obtain certification for the courses you are teaching. You can do this through the Alternate Route Program offered in all states (that I know of).
Breakfast. German breakfast habits are much the same as in other countries. A good, traditional breakfast includes bread, toast, and/or rolls, marmalade, honey, eggs, cold meats, such as ham and salami, various cheeses, all washed down with a strong cup or pot of tea or coffee.
There are many more traditional foods associated with the Christmas season in Germany, and many are readily available here in the USA, such as Lebkuchen (gingerbread), chocolate Santas and various other Christmas confectioneries. In Germany, Christmas is also a time for baking PlÃ¤tzchen or Christmas cookies.
