or the other way around?

What does my major have to be?

Answer 1

major in general history if its only high school

Answer 2

In Texas you have to major in secondary education to teach in high School and then you have to choose 2 minors or majors whichever it is andf they will be the two subject areas that you choose to teach. Then the counselors can lay down a plan for you . You must do , usually your senior year , both observance of classrooms and teaching in both subject areas and student in both areas .

I hope this helps and wish you luck . Good luck
