I’ve actually considered the High School teaching position because I tutored quite a few friends in college in both mathematics and economics and thoroughly enjoyed it. However, to teach in NC one must either pass a bunch of education tests or have an education degree.
To teach beyond high school level, one needs a Masters or above.
Best of luck in finding a job and grad school. I have two Master’s. The first one was done right after grad school as a requirement to work in my field. The second one was 3-4 years after being in my field and decided I wanted to be in Administration. I never would’ve been able to advance in management if I had not had a Master’s degree. It was a lot easier to get the Master’s right after undergrad since I was already used to studying, test taking etc. The second Master’s was a bit more difficult due to working full time and being out of the “school” mindset as well as all of the other commitments that came as I aged. Good luck

Also, build up networking, LinkID and more, build up your portfolio, if you want to be on Wall Street, you have to act like Wall Street Firms.
One sign of weakness in any major Financial Firms you are dead not only New York City, Hong Kong, Tokyo, London and more. It is brutal world, don’t be discourage, but know your limits as well, if you are good sale person you will do well :}}}}}

You can teach in a Catholic school with a BA and a promise to finish a credential at some point. Stay out of the public schools. There are some very rigorous, very demanding, excellent Catholic high schools, and NO ONE can teach upper math. And none of the students understand it.
If you have tutored before and can teach it effectively, at least consider teaching long enough to save tuition so you don’t have to take out loans. The future generations needs YOU to teach them how to think and reason clearly. What better way than math? And think of all the young people you will touch with your gift.
Check with jr college level? I think some states have lesser requirements for past high school as far as what is required. Would you relocate to a neighboring state?
If your particular field does better with a Masters and you are unable to locate a decent job in your field of expertise, then I would suggest taking the task of your masters degree on.
Most colleges I know of help with getting you internships whether paid or unpaid. Take them! This I can’t stress enough. Intern jobs will open a field of opportunities for you. When future companies take a look at your resume, they want to see that you’ve at least worked in the field you are seeking. Internships are great for this part of your resume.
My son just graduated this year as well. Luckily he had/has a job waiting for him since the end of April. He starts in July. He will actually be coming to your neck of the woods for this opportunity for 6 months training and then come back to New England to be placed in 1 of 2 facilities in the area. He also graduated Cum Laude and had over 1 year of an internship with Blue Cross Blue Shield.
I do believe we’ve talked before? I think I remember your name! Congratulations on your excellent achievement graduating with honors!
I funded my son's undergraduate work and when he wanted to go for a masters I allowed as how I would continue a food subsidy (he was also a weightlifter) but he had the military or a Teaching Assistant. That was the route he took, didn't really like the TA job, but later moved to a Research Assistant position.
