Hello,
I have just graduated school with an IB diploma, and right now I want to be a teacher. However I don't know if I will still want to be a teacher in a few years time even though now it really appeals to me.
Should i study to become a teacher and get a degree in education? Or should I get a degree in something else such as geography, which I find interesting, and then get a minor in education if at the end of 4 years I still want to do that profession?
Thank you!

First, decide if teaching is for you.

Most teachers don't realize they don't want to do it until they first step foot into a classroom, 3 years or so into their degree/certification.

The best way to do this is get into a classroom -- first as an observer, then as a student-teacher, or an intern, or a volunteer of some kind.

Also, there are fewer and fewer jobs in recent years. Research where the jobs are still available. I know a lot of people who have degree/certification in hand, and no jobs to speak of.

As for your question, there are great dual programs where you major in a content area and simultaneously prepare for an education career.

If you can't find one of those, content is the most important thing ^on paper^, especially in the eyes of someone hiring. However, ^in person^ they want to see that you are someone kids could talk to/listen to, so the education degree will help once you have an interview.
