What advice to you have for a high school student searching for a career in secondary education (teaching high school) - specifically, teaching English?
I'm seeking a possible career in secondary education, and while I've been working as a teacher's assistant for almost a year, I still want to know more about what it's like to be a teacher. #career #teacher #career-counseling #english #high-school

Hi Kelly,
Why not graduate with a major in English, then acquire a teacher's certificate? My mom and sisters enjoyed their career teaching high school students. They went to LaVerne College. Best wishes, Mark

Hi Kelly! You can either major in English or Education because you will still be required to pass a State exam for certification. If you truly want to stay in education, I suggest majoring in Education. If you have a degree in anything other than Education you will probably be required to take additional courses in order to be certified.
