Teaching Degrees get no respect in colleges.

I posted this as a comment elsewhere but i think it fits here too. Side story. Colleges beleive a teaching liscense is useless. I finished a bachelors of science in secondary education, concentration in math in 2011. My financial situation changed and i went back to college for an engineering degree 2016. I signed up to tutor math. Seemed like a kinda obvious move. To be fair, this college usually finds students with an A in a class and the proffessor recommends them to tutor other students. I had just arrived. I didnt know. I DID NOT, i repeat, DID NOT have the qualifications to TUTOR math. Any and all math in the entire college, i was not qualified. Completely blew my mind. I attempted to explain but the words “i have an education degree” did not compute in the lifetime beuracrat's mind i guess.
