What do you want to do? If you don’t know, check out the following links related to the first two you mentioned…what you would end up doing with the third is obvious (teaching).

History

Political science

http://www.worldwidelearn.com/online-education-guide/social-science/political-science-major.htm

After you check out the potential careers available with each degree and find some you think you might like, do a little more research using Occupational Outlook (http://www.bls.gov/oco/) to get more information about salaries, growth and more in those careers.

After you do this research, you’ll be in a MUCH better position to choose a major. Nothing is sadder than a student that spends four years (or more) pursuing a degree that leads to a career he or she doesn’t like…I see that all too frequently!

I have an el ed certificate and I would suggest looking at shortage areas and consider how far you would be willing to move to get a teaching job. Stop by the career services office of your chosen college and see if they have any information regarding employment trends. I wouldn’t recommend Elementary Education if you are rural or geographically restricted.

I knew a historic previous considerable that went directly to be a street supervisor for a band and yet another who went directly to graduate and then while to firefighter college. perchance he desires to be chief. the main won’t get you a job in any container, yet you would be exciting company on the subsequent social gathering you attend. you choose what you opt to do and choose for it. college will take you farther than something you may fathom at this ingredient. Do nicely, learn tricky and luxuriate on your destiny.

depends on what you want out of it. If you want to be assured a job after graduation, elementary education… Teachers are always in need.
