What Can I Do With A Major In.......
Education

There are many reasons people choose a career in education. Some people enjoy the challenge of working with young people and they want to help the student develop. Another reason is because the educator is genuinely excited about a subject (English, chemistry, etc.) and wants to pass on that excitement. Others enjoy the constant learning process required to be a good teacher. Most people who choose to major in education plan to work for a school district (public or private) but there are other careers available as well.
