Question about deciding what kind of teacher I want to be...?

Question

I'm 25 and in the US Navy. The Navy is going to pay my way through college,and I have decided that I want to go to school for teaching high school. I'm just not sure what I want to teach. I was thinking of being a gym teacher because I love sports and fitness,but I'm not sure what the requirements are, and and if they pay less than other teachers. I also thought of teaching history or maybe writing. I just can't figure out what subject to teach!! Any advice on how to decide and what I need to take in college? Thank you for your time.

i too was thinking about becoming a history teacher, but changed my mind to work in a meausem. any way it dosent matter what you become, it is the degree that you have that brings in the money. My uncle has his masters for p.e. and makes close to 100,000 a year. i know that math and science teachers are in desperate need and are almost guaranteed a job, so is special ed. i thinkt that in the end you should follow what you really want to do.
