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)?

Yea like Homer said, if you have any sort of 'technical' major, getting a math teaching job SOMEWHERE will not be very difficult at all. It might not be somewhere very close to you, or very desirable, but tons of jobs are out there for math teachers. Probably always will be.
