You have several options.  You can major in education in college.  You need at least a BA/BS to teach at a public K-12 school.  You can either major in history or education for your  BA/BS and then do what is usually a one year MAT program, a master's degree in teaching.  People with master's degrees earn more, regardless of what their MA is in.\n\nAnother option is to major in anything (probably history for you) and then do an Alternative Teaching Certificate Program (usually called an ACP or EPI program).  This is a condensed series of classes that give you all the classes you need to get certified to teach if you don't have a degree in teaching.  Many school districts also offer their own ACP programs that you can attend (there is a cost) but the hook  is that in order to do the school district program, you have to have been hired as a teacher in the program.  Most people find they can't get hired unless they are credentialed, so it a Catch-22 but some people do manage to get hired.\n\nHope that helps!  Look on your state Department of Education website for more info on the requirements and options.  Good luck.

Harvard Buisness school is the best. Look into Yale and Oxford.

As an undergrad I was an English major for three years before switching to Chemistry.  I had to start all over (unfortunately, none of my Shakespeare transferred).  It wasn't easy, but it wasn't any harder than analyzing poetry to the professor's satisfaction.  But honestly, any person with brains can get any degree they want.  You are, however, going to have to prove your worth as an analytical thinker to the college that will accept you into their science program.  Try to get the calculus, physics, and intermediate geography/meteorology done before applying- possibly at a community college.  You could always go talk to faculty at the college you want to apply to and see which classes would transfer from where, which classes you would need, or if you can just directly apply to their program.  Hopefully you will do well in those classes you need, and along with your probably stellar standardized test scores should open the doors to any program you want to enter.

Depends...on what you're majoring in or interested in.  I always thought that Harvard, Yale, Princeton, and the Ivy League like school would be the best, but it all depends on your major.  Did you know that I you want to be a Equestrian Vet, Cinema or Graphic Artist, or Chef, these Ivy School would n't be the best.  \n\nSo figure out what you want or interested in learning...then the "best" school choices will come to you.

If you have great SAT scores and a GPA close to 4.0, check out Cal Tech, MIT, and Harvey Mudd.  You don't need to know what you'll want to major in yet.  Just look at these school's websites, and you'll see lots of what you love.\n\nWhy should you believe me?  Years of experience at the university level, advising students, and directing a graduate program.

There are so many great schools with outstanding Departments of Classics - it's impossible to list them all. Here are the top 15, in my opinion.  \n\nAnd a personal note -- if I were a young woman desiring to major in classics, I'd pick Bryn Mawr.   No contest.  Why?  Opportunities to go on archaeological digs, opportunities to publish in and/or work on Bryn Mawr's classical studies journal, the amazingly dedicated faculty, the absolutely gorgeous campus and dorm rooms, the huge college endowment which allows for superb student financial aid packages, the stimulating academic climate, the proximity to Philadelphia and New York without being in the middle of an urban center, the student diversity..... need I go on? \n\nHarvard \nBrown\nUC Berkeley\nU Michigan\nUniversity of Chicago\nYale\nPrinceton\nU Penn\nUT Austin\nUCLA\nCornell\nColumbia\nUNC Chapel Hill\nBryn Mawr\nDuke\nStanford

English is plenty practical, it just depends on what sort of work you're open to.\n\nI'm a Biology major with a secondary major in English, which I actually considered to be my "backup" in case I had trouble finding work in the sciences.  \n\nAs with any field of study, teaching is always an option.  That can be angled towards a more general knowledge on lower levels - middle and high school.  To teach at the university level, you'll likely need a PhD (the exception being certain positions at junior colleges, etc, but those are limited and not very involved).  That's several extra years of school and commitment, but it also provides the best opportunity to continue studying/analyzing what you're interested in the most.  As an English professor you'd be expected to not only teach but part of your position would also involve researching a certain author/time period/style of literature that interested you the most.\n\nWhen it comes to working with literature itself, teaching is the primary option.  If you open yourself up to writing though, you'll find a great number of career possibilities.  A person who can write well and analytically or technically is an asset in almost any business, corporation, or, well, anywhere.  Communication is an essential skill for which people will always be hiring.  I'm still pursuing biology myself, but I know that friends in the English department haven't had much trouble finding positions after graduation, and certainly not any more or less than most other areas of study (except for maybe theater - wouldn't really recommend that one.)\n\nIf you really want to know more, I'd suggest seeing if your school has a Career Center of some kind.  People there would be able to tell you exactly what kind of work other graduates are looking into and getting. Otherwise, you are a freshman yet, and even if it seems like the real world is drawing close, four years is still a long time and there will be a lot of classes between now and then to help you make up your mind.  Leave yourself open to other possibilities, and try not to let the career control your decision too much.  It's certainly important to find a job later on, but it's more important now to find out what you enjoy.  That way, regardless of the difficulties in the work world to come, you'll be more willing to keep going, even if it does get tough.\n\nAs far as your motivation is concerned - that's something I think everybody goes through.  You get to college, and you feel burnt out from already studying through so many years of school just to get there.  It certainly doesn't get any easier as it goes, so use what you have of this first year to really figure out how much effort you're going to need to put into your studies to get the grades you want.  One or two low grades at the end of the semester certainly shouldn't be the end of the world, but if you take those too lightly now, it'll be a lot harder to get your study habits back on track later on.  Once you get past your gen ed requirements too, hopefully the more specialized classes will be able to get your interests and motivation up.  Those are the classes that matter more in the end anyway.  Just make sure you find a balance with your social life, your free time, and your study time, and recognize that you'll probably have to make a few sacrifices on all three fronts, but you'll probably be able to manage better in the future because of it.  \n\nYou've probably been told that college will end up being some of the best years of your life.  Make it so.  Enjoy yourself, work hard, and when it comes to what's not in the immediate future - keep it in mind, but don't stress out about it, not yet anyway.\n\n(sheesh, that was long.  sorry - English major habits. ^^)

I went to Northeastern in Boston: not a good choice for me - big commuter school, not a big "campus" atmosphere.  I transferred and ended up at Ithaca College in Ithaca, NY.  It was great, mainly because of my program in the communications school and because there were things going on around campus.

Being from New England, I only know schools around here, but I'd suggest Bard College (Annandale-on-Hudson, NY), Bennington College (Bennington, VT), Simon's Rock College of Bard (Great Barrington, MA), or Emerson College (Boston, MA). I have friends at Bard and Emerson who love them. I think they all offer other areas of study, but I'm not sure if there are core requirements that would discourage you.

I would suggest Berea College in Berea, Kentucky. It's one of the top Schools in the country for academics, people come from all over the world to attend, have a large indoor pool, will let you work your way through school to help pay you tuition. Very nice school. I recommend it with 2 thumbs up.

I would suggest visiting www.usnews.com.\nThey have a section where you can view the best colleges in the nation based on their location, rank, academics, major and more. It's a really good place to look for colleges.

Hello, friend,\n\nBased on what you have told me, I can tell you a few things to help you start.\n\nI have an undergraduate degree and a master's, and I taught at both a college and a university. I am teaching in Japan right now, but I can help you with initial stuff. If you need more help, you can contact me, okay? (amorathescared@yahoo.com)\n\n1) Your first question: What are you going to major in? Are you going into business? Medicine? You should decide or be undeclared (general).\n\n2) Money/location: You should web surf and find places that are less expensive if you can and look for a place you would like to live. Are you going to live in the dorm (dormitory) or off campus?\n\n3) How old are you?\n\n4) What have your grades been like in school?\n\n5) There are several networks out there that can get you on your way. Look up searches for higher education/international. \n\nHope that helped. Good luck.\n\nIsis

Take it from me.  Talk to your student advisor at your college or university.  What type of teacher you deside to become will deside on which classes you need to take.  \nWhich grade will pay more?  Ok, here are some things I do know.  Usually College Professors get paid the most.  It also depends on where you live and how musch that state pays for teachers.  Public schools pay more per year that Private schools do.  Most Public schools pay by the year and not by salary like Public school.  Also it is like with any other job, you get paid by your experience.  I know for a fact that most teachers salary or rate of pay is baced on their experience (yrs of teaching, what level, etc).
