second minor...?

Question

my major is History, minor is Biology all this being certified for secondar education-HS level. i love writing poems, and essays and such come to me easily- i am making B's in on of my History classes on the quizzed just by bs'ing! i am in college and all my friends tell me how good i write andask me how long something took to write which usually did not take a lot and recently i read of of my friends an email i was about to send my bf and she was impressed with all the word choices and how everything just fell in place. per day i get 2-3 comments which are good ones on how good my writing is eventhough i think it is okay. in HS my english -sophmore, jr, and senior year teacher- told me that she can see me either writing a book or having to deal with writing-journalism related since i am well informed and writing come to me like second nature. i was thinking about maybe just being a regular History teacher and drop the Biology minor or should i add the english minor too?help plz

which one would be better for me even though i want to go and get a Master's in Microbiology or Molecular Science? whic one would pay more and which one would be easier to transition to for my Master's? those who have been there and done that can you please help me? as well as everyone else! thanks

Answer 1

If your question is an example of your writing skills, then I would definitely go for the English minor. Not because "writing come to me like second nature," but because it would give help you truly hone your skills. In any case, a second minor will do little to help you teach in high school, no matter what it is. So, if you really want or think you need another minor, you should pick one that is interesting to you.

You also might want to re-think your History major if you are considering a Master's degree in the sciences. Most of the time, you will need to qualify for a Master's program with a good deal of study in the appropriate courses.
