Numerous Possibilities

"All through your education, your major defined what classes you took, what books you read, and probably even who you hung out with-- but when you are thinking abou work, remember that your major does not define who you are or what job you are best suited for." (Lemire 227)

One of the reasons I chose to come to Seton Hill was because of the set up of the education program. Seton Hill doesn't allow a student to major in education. Instead, the student has to pick a content area (such as English, Biology, etc.) and then work towards a teaching certificate. I chose this program because having a degree in English with a teaching certification allows me to have so many more options than just having a teaching degree. If I would chose one day to leave the education field, I would still have my English degree to fall back on and seek out another job opportunity. With a teaching degree, I can only work in the education field. I wanted to have options not only here at college, but also when I graduate from here.
