As someone who was studying to be a secondary history teacher, this makes me depressed. Granted, when I first told my counselor my degree plans...she told me I was nuts because the history side of teaching was overpopulated.
It's all a matter of passion in what you teach. In my history based study groups, my peers thought that I would make a great history teacher because my passion showed in how I came to my conclusions about our projects or text we were reading. Falls along the line of salesman...if you don't believe in your product, don't sell it. Well, I was all about selling my product to make sure that we teach our kids that we can't have a future until we look into the past.
