<p>Hi everyone I wanted to know which one these major should I go for. I love history I was very good at it, but I also share that same passion for health and phy ed. My plan was to take history as my major and have a minor in coaching. I really just want some advice from most you guys and current teacher.</p>
<p>He he, isn’t that all ususally the same?</p>
<p>I have an old army buddy that I ran into quite a few years back. He was a Phs Ed major, I asked him “why Phys Ed” and he told me that it was the easiest job that he could think of: “just roll the balls out and say 'your shirts and your skins, now pick teams.”</p>
<p>But seriously, a major in history with a coaching minor sound good. Most coaches teach some type of social studies or health classes in addition to coaching. </p>
<p>Depending on the licensing requirement for your state, you may also need an education degree or minor. In my state anyone with a bachelors degree can teach without an ed degree, but only after a certain number of years of experiance in their education field in non-teaching jobs. All new college grads have to have education degrees or education minors with student teaching experiance.</p>
<p>At my son’s college, they only actually offer three “ed” degrees, elementary ed (which certifies to teach any/every subject up through 6th grade), music ed (any grade music only), or phys ed (any grade phys ed only). Any of those three majors will also satisfy the requirements to become certified teachers in other fields if they get a second degree or if they duel major. People who want to teach just history or just math (or any other subject at the middle or high school level) have to major in that subject and minor in education plus do one semester of student teaching.</p>
<p>You need to check your states requirements, and your colleges requirements, and adjust your major accordingly - most colleges are great about advising you as to the best course of action.</p>
