Top 7 grad programs that interest me

Top 7 grad programs that interest me. In approximate order of how interested I am. As I've said for awhile, I'll probably try for one just as soon as I'm interested enough in one that it rises above the others. Which could be years and years away, and that's fine.

1. MBA, probably specializing in logistics or some other less common specialty. (Edit: Non-profit management? Do good and be not-poor at the same time? Do they even have that specialty?)
2. Masters in Linguistics
3. Masters in Library Science
4. Law school
5. Professional baseball umpiring school
6. Whatever sort of degree you need nowadays to teach high school
7. Some sort of Ph.D. in communications, sociology, linguistics, or some combination thereof, studying internet communication

Yes, math is not on there at all. I've come to terms with this.

Many states just require a BA with a concentration in pre-teaching (usually a certain number of credit hours of educational theory, etc) and student teaching. If you've already done the BA, you can sometimes do a quick one-year preprofessional track, or do your Masters in education.

Easiest way to get it without doing an education prog in undergrad (which is BA + certain ed classes + student teacing) is do a masters in education, especially since new teachers need a certain number of credits beyond bachelors' in the first few years of teaching in a lot of states.
