I am currently going into my senior year of college. I am studying to become a high school history teacher. After graduation in May 2007, I plan to continue on and get my masters in special education. I will then graduate with that May 2008. I then wanted to continue going to school for another certification.
I was either considering something with economics, busniess, or accounting. Maybe even get certified to teach math. What would be the best thing to take? I want to be certified as much as possible. I just can't decide what would be something good to get certified in. Anyone know? Thanks!!

May I suggest you stay with history and teach at the university level?
Too many high school kids don't care about education. Most will not even be awake during class.
You could teach either teaching or history at the college level. The pay will be better and the students will be more creative and intellectually challenging. You will also have the opportunity to teach a variety of courses from year to year.

Teaching will only pay so much money...Go get a job teaching History in High School and get certified in Life! As a teacher, you are required to take continuing education every year to keep your teaching certificate. You can use these classes to work towards another certification. Having 3 areas will not pay more than 1. Personally, I think you should put the Masters on Hold for a while and get a job! You might find that after a few years you might not like teaching and you will want to get a Masters in another field!
Besides, you can always work towards your masters as your continuing education credits. It sounds to me like you are a bit afraid to jump into the Grown Up world of Life with a Job! This is normal. Everybody goes through this when starting out. Teaching can be a very rewarding career with decent pay and Fabulous Vacation time. Just jump in with both feet and give it a go!

Choose the one that will be the best to fall back on. Teaching is a dead-end job. Salaries don't increase much, insurance is almost worthless, and retirement plans don't offer much. Unless you don't mind living on a teacher's salary the rest of your life, you should find something that you will be able to use outside of teaching. In the US a career in teaching is for married women who have husbands that support them, or the independently wealthy. For anyone else, teaching should only be considered as a part-time job.

one million. provide greater capability to the state and native governments to safeguard ok-12 training. 2. Abolish the DOE. that's an entire waste of money and components. 3. unfastened instructions to public universities for qualified pupils. There are too many bright, potential sensible human beings obtainable which could no longer attend college because of the fact their mothers and fathers are too destructive, or they are able to't get a scholarship. 4. inspire mothers and fathers to step up and become in contact with their youngsters' analyze. mothers and fathers ought to end based entirely on the colleges to teach their little ones. this could be a super situation in u . s . right this moment.
