<p>Hello :)</p>
<p>I'm a little clueless about my future career plans but I know I have time to decide. I will be a freshman in college this fall. My hope is to double major in English/Theatre at a university where I will actually receive both degrees (which is why I can't try Northwestern) and go from there. Two careers I think I would really enjoy are being a paid actor, perhaps for a small regional theatre, or working for a newspaper/magazine. Obviously paid acting work is not the easiest to find, and from my understanding the newspaper/magazine field is very competitive. The problem there would have to be the fact I'm not a very creative writer. When it comes to English I'm just strong with the grammar aspect, as well as with understanding literature/poetry, like on an AP test or something. I'm not sure if there's a position I would be suitable for in that kind of field. Anyway, I've always considered being a high school teacher, and perhaps someday getting a doctorate and teaching at the college level. I know some states require HS teachers to have a masters, but where I live (and probably some other places) all you need is a bachelor's degree and teacher certification. How does the teacher certification process work exactly? I don't want to major in Education because of the fact I want to be able to teach college level English someday and I would imagine I would have to get a doctorate in English not say, English ed. </p>
<p>Any insight?</p>
<p>thanks :)</p>
