Was it easier or harder for a person to become a teacher back in the 1920's-1960's than it is today?

Example:  Johnson was a college drop out.

It seemed to teach more life skills back then and now there is so much more.  This should be credited to teachers we have had as educators, yet it seems we are constantly trying to change the way things have worked.

  1. Depends on race and gender.

  2. Obtaining licensure was easier. I'm not sure about employment.

  3. I would guess it was easier. Less education needed, more schools. Low pay , that is why my father did not become a teacher.

  4. How hard is it to become a teacher today? Imagine living in Mississippi, Alabama, or some other poor state and the requirements there compared to Iowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, etc. We all know that our Iowa license allows us to teach anywhere. I don't think people from Louisiana have that luxury.
