Majoring in History because I truly love it and it's easy for me!

I was recently thinking about switching my major to History. I really do find History fascinating and would like to teach it someday. I was thinking about switching my major to History and then eventually go on to get my M.A. and then my Ph.D. in History. I would like to teach at the college level but I have heard it can be quite hard to get a position, especially and tenure track position. I wouldn’t mind teaching high school or at a community college. However, I would really like to teach at a four year university if I do this!

there are full spectrum of colleges, you may not be able to teach in top 50, but there are another 300 to 500 four year college. what was your concern? Worst you can teach in 3rd tier state univ, or some no name 4 year college.

Do it! Follow your dreams, do what you love, I have no issues here.
