How do you chose between two subjects you want to teach?
I want to teach spanish but I would also like to teach government and because they are so different I'm having a hard time choosing which one to teach.

I was a Social Studies teacher. I can't help you decide but I do know you need the whole Social Studies endorsement to teach Government. High School Principals will only hire teachers who can teach Government, US History and World History. What If they need someone to teach 1 period of History (a required class to graduate)? If you only have a Government endorsement they could not use you.

Deciding whether to teach Spanish or Government can be a bit challenging. One way to tackle this is by thinking about what you love and excel at in each subject. Ask yourself which subject really captivates you and where you could make the most difference. Also, ponder on the popularity of each subject in schools and how teaching one or the other fits into your future career plans. Lastly, it might be helpful to get some advice from seasoned teachers or mentors who can share wisdom from their own journeys. In the end, your choice should be a mix of what you're interested in, what you're good at, and your career aspirations.
