Hi everyone, I just ended my first year at university to become a highschool science teacher. I’m extremely passionate about becoming a teacher. I can’t imagine my life not helping students but I also have a LOT of money anxiety. I was raised in a home where you’re degree should be chosen based off money and not interest and I’m working really hard to try and break the pattern but there’s always the screaming alarms of “what if you can’t survive. Just switch majors”. Any advice? Is there stuff in the teaching world I may not know about that could give me more financial stability or should I focus on my passion and force myself to lock in on “hundreds of others have figured it out, I will to”. Thank you
