Hi, I'm a person with undergrad major in math with a physics minor. I graduated about a decade ago. I taught HS math briefly, but it wasn't the right fit (I liked teaching but not teaching kids that didn't want to learn, dealing with minors and their parents, or the 'culture' of HS teachers).
Currently, I am [unhappily] pursuing a non-technical grad program (i.e. business stuff to further my current career which also isn't the right fit). I've been tinkering with the idea of revisiting physics lately - i.e. earning a second undergrad major & then maybe a master's. I think that perhaps teaching some of our brightest junior college students who actual want to learn may be suitable for me.
A master's in physics would enable me to teach both math and physics whereas the converse isn't necessarily true. I hope to use this forum to test the waters and see if I'm interested enough to pursue a career change to college physics and math education.
