Are community college hiring commitees aware of the MAT degree in math, and can I get hired with it?

mat masters
Fred asked:

The requirements are less rigorous than the MA degree in math. What I would like to know is if colleges are aware of this degree, is it respected, is it enough to get a professorship at a community college, and is getting this degree from a very well respected institution like University of Florida impressive enough to be a cc math prof? Or would I be more competitive getting an MA in math from a lessor respected university?
Basically, I’m starting to think in terms of taking quickest, easist path that will lead me to a tenure tract professorship at a community college.
Additionally, do you think focusing on being a college algebra teacher at a cc would make me more likely to get a job sooner than say calculus? I’m better prepared to to master college algebra than calc, and I figure there are many more sections of this course. I know this is many questions…I appreciate your perspective. Thanks
