Well I decided I want to become a teacher, I finally coped with doing something I have a passion for and not pursuing a degree where I will not love my work.
Anyways I want to teach history, and I've been doing a lot of research and I still don't know what pathway to take.
I heard you can major in any kind of social science (ex
olitical science) and pass credential exams to be certified to teach history.
Another is just simply majoring in history.
Also I heard majoring in education may be an option as well but my sister who is an elementary teacher said if I do so I'll get stuck teaching elementary.
I need to declare a major soon, with my goal being that of a high school history teacher.
Before people tell me that I'm going to be poor or whatever, I'd rather love my job then be miserable at work for a larger paycheck.
