This was the equivalency table I was going off of:
http://www.education.gov.uk/ta-assets/~/media/get_into_teaching/resources/subjects_age_groups/overseas_grade_comparison.pdfAccording to the table above, a first professional degree is comparable to a British Bachelors (Honours) degree standard. An Honours degree is what is necessary for most teacher training programs I'd like to enter. That would would mean I would need a first professional degree, which I'm sure the average college grad from the US does not have.
According to Wikipedia (
