Since I was in high school I wanted to be a family and consumer sciences teacher which is the fancy term for home economics teacher, but I feel that there isn't enough job availability. So I decided to do Biology teacher but my heart isn't in it. I'm engaged and my fiance is going off to medical school and I'm going to be the one supporting us which is why I want a secure job, buy lately my fiance has been telling me that he'd rather I do something I like than be miserable, but doing the home ec means me traveling further to go to school and stay behind after he leaves a little longer. Advice any one?

Are you sure these are the only two options? These days, many teachers are hired for their ability to teach more than one subject.

They'd both be great, but I thought doing both would be good. To be a high school teacher I think you need more than just one specialist area otherwise you won't be as resourceful. The more areas you specialise in the more demand there will be for a teacher like you.
But if you only can do one, go with your heart.
However... I think you could have more behaviour problems in home ec, especially with the boys who don't think they need to be there...
Good luck

Home Ec is much more interesting to me but a biology degree can open to other things in case you want to do medical studies and so forth.

I don't want to discourage you from your dream, especially after such a bad day but . . . . if you don't know the name of the coronet band (where the hoof meets the skin) maybe being a horse trainer is not the right occupation for you. With good grades like you have, and a dedication to animals, you could help a lot more horses by being a vet. Good luck!

Home Ec (in my state it's called FCCLA) requires tons of time out of the classroom -- state conventions, contests, local clubs and a lot of projects. That means less time at home.
Biology requires more depth of knowledge (I hope Home Ec teachers aren't too hard on me), but less time away from home. Each has its pluses and minuses. Weigh each -- write them out on paper and study it carefully -- and see what works for you.

there is a greater need for teachers of the sciences and maths.
