What major is ideal for someone who wants to teach but who is also interested in other job opportunities? ?

Question

I have a Bachelor's in History and I would like to teach history and social science but I also want to leave other options for myself if my plan does not work out. That is why I would like to choose a major other than History for my Master's program.

I was just wondering what kind of jobs I could find with an International Relations degree, for instance? I wouldn't mind a tough major, I just want to make sure I could find a job or my major would be useful and recognized in teaching. Any suggestions or info would be appreciated.

Get your masters in secondary education.  That way you will have the tools you need to succeed in the classroom, as well as to advance through the ranks of the teaching corps...
