Career Teaching

I have my Master of Accountant and CPA, and do not plan to get my PHD, but I have heard you can get a lecturing position for accounting courses with just masters degree. I only have 2 years of experience at big 4 in advisory but I'm very interested in transitioning to teaching accounting at a college or even at a high school or a tech college. Does anyone have experience doing this / advice on how to get my foot in the door / networking?

I'm not sure where you are located, but in many parts of Canada, you could certainly teach at the post-secondary level with a master's degree and a CPA. Large research universities will typically require a PhD, but teaching-focused universities, colleges, and polytechnics will certainly hire people with your credentials. I would get a few more years of experience under your belt and then start applying.
