If you apply for a position that only needs a bachelor's or less, should you still include graduate degrees if you have them? Would employers think you're overqualified or think you'll demand higher pay (or that they couldn't pay you as much as your education is supposedly worth) and not hire you solely on the grounds that you have more degrees than they expected?

Basically, I'm qualified (apparently) to teach post-secondary, but I think I would prefer to teach secondary. But since the state I'm in has ridiculous requirements for alternative certification (I have a doctorate with education classes yet I'm not qualified to even substitute teach!), I'm looking at applying to be a para in the mean time (I have years of experience with special needs). And if I wanted/needed to apply for temp work or another non-ed job, do I include my education?

If I see post-secondary positions that would fit me, I'll apply to those, but there's not a lot of those and they're highly competitive. Why would anyone want me?
