Do you have a degree in mathematics? What's the certification process in California?

Yea I have a major in math. I heard some scary statistic that something like 25% of high school math teachers don't have a major OR minor in math. Don't know how reliable that stat is, but it does sound about right, based on the math teachers I've been colleagues with.

How hard would it be to become a math teacher without a math major/minor, but with a degree in a related field (hard science, engineering, compsci, etc)?

Depends on the state. Very, very easy in NJ, for example.
