I wanna be a Physical Education teacher, but would I get more cash if I get a Masters degree in Sports studies, General Education, or Both???

It depends on what you will use the master's for... Most school districts will increase your pay based on this extra certification.
But, it's a matter of IF you will be applying this advanced degree towards anything. It would be silly to pay thousands of dollars for a master's that you will not use considering that in most cases, it will only increase your salary $500 to $1,000 per year.
Hope this answers your question,

A physical ed teacher needs a four year BS degree. If you then pursued your master's , you would indeed make more money, but you must get the BS degree, first.

Both, You need to finish your general education requirements to get the p.e. teacher degree or any degree in general.

there is almost no demand right now for PE teachers. I went to a teacher job fair last year and it was all PE and Social Studies teacher wannabe's wandering around. There just are not the jobs for people in those fields right now. Look before you leap and maybe alter your career path a bit.
