OP, if you get to teach in a secondary school it will be a nest of vipers. Is this your choice to teach?
If circuмstances make finishing the "
secondary education" degree your best immediate options, try not to take its name so literally. It can be considered among compelling qualifications for a job in what is commonly called the "
education department" of
museums, and even for the jobs known as "
park ranger". But all of those exercises in degree
leverage require extra experience, as you might get from an extra major in
history, or find in college "
outdoors clubs".
Keep in mind that it's the professors (e.g., of
history), or faculty-advisors for student clubs, who might be your best sources of leads to jobs related to their fields. Plus sources of personal recommendations that
you are the best candidate for such a job.
Such jobs carry their own risks: In many places, museums are funded substantially by local governments, and may be bundled with "arts" funding that's vulnerable to the local political winds. And you might encounter oppressive
political correctness, so you ought to ponder whether you can endure threats to your faith that might result from such jobs (e.g., "sodomite-pride-month" programs).
If you are under your parents' authority you are bound to obey them. Once you no longer are under their authority, you can ask for their advice but are not bound to take it. [....] So attempt to prepare for independence asap [....]
Despite my warning(s) above, keep in mind that 1 crucial short-term goal for you is to untangle yourself from your parents'
purse-strings.
