As the time of my graduation draws near, I've given thought to what I want to do in life, and to be honest, I'm actually considering majoring in history and getting training to be a high school history teacher.

History is my main academic interest, and I excel at it. I'm incredibly proficient at writing essays and I relish telling people about history, specifically European and United States history; It's all I really enjoy. Law bores me, and as popular as IT jobs are becoming I don't see myself enjoying that whatsoever. Finally, I'm distinctly mediocre in regards to mathematics.

I guess it seems stupid, wanting to do something like teaching despite still being a senior in high school. However, taking into account my interests and skills, and the simple fact that I enjoy teaching others, I think it's something that might very well be a good fit for me.

I don't think teaching Juniors and Seniors would be all that bad.

Me too honestly

But I'm still trying to figure out if I could achieve my goals or not

And it's not stupid
It's completely different being on the other side of school

Yeah. And to be totally honest, I love being at school. Junior year was the best year of my entire life, hell if I had my way it would have never ended. I don't want high school to end.

A career in this environment, in which I would be able to be for kids, what my history teachers have been for me, would be great.

Lol, going the same route I am. 16 months after graduating with a history degree and no career. Teacher's all I can be. Good thing is in the master's program you'll be surrounded by women. Even when I had to take the Praxis tests today I was the only guy there.

Yeah that's the one issue. I think it's more important to enjoy your career than it is to make a lot of money, but nonetheless that is a concern of mine.

This is not the greatest sig in the world, no. This is just a tribute.
I'd  love to teach classical antiquity to the youth of America... IF I COULD TALK IN PUBLIC

Stay away from low income communities, that's all I've got to say. Little bastards are disruptive and generally don't give a fuck.

Oh, definitely. But yeah, I would want to teach AP US and European history so I think that would substantially increase the quality of students.

Har har

Yeah that too. I'd think that would be much more difficult to achieve, though.

You will find out who you are not a thousand times, before you ever discover who you are. I hope you find peace in yourself and learn to love instead of hate.

To each his own. I'm just looking at what I'm good at and enjoy, and TBH that wouldn't net me many careers besides teacher or professor.
