I am currently studying as a senior high school student here in the Philippines and I am really confused what course to take when I'm in college. I love traveling, discovering new places, and meeting different people and I also want to work abroad specifically in Europe. Here are my 2 options:


Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education major in English- This is the course my dad suggested me to take because being a teacher has a lot of benefits and I could also earn even when I'ts vacation. It is also a profession. I love teaching but I hate waking up early in the morning and I also want this course because there a lot of countries that are looking for English teacher.


Bachelor of Science in Tourism- This is the course I really want to take because I love traveling, I love discovering new places, I love meeting different people and I love nature but I've read a lof ot reviews from those people who graduated from this course, they ended up working in a call center, Front desk clerk, etc. I don't want a job like that because I want to earn a lot of money because I want to be successful in the future. I also want to be a flight stewardess but I don't think it's possible for me because I'm really short and I have scars on my legs and I'm kind of chubby.


Which course should I take among those 2? Or maybe you can suggest me other course which involves traveling and has a big opportunity to work abroad. Thank you so much and may God bless us all!


P.S I'm sorry for my English, I'm really not that good.

@LittleDreamer,
Most majors can get you a teaching job. Take the course of study you want and you are more likely to do more work and get better grades. A better GPA is going to matter more than your major.

@LittleDreamer,
Maybe it's different in Europe but in US the tourism degree won't let you teach but a teaching degree will probably get you a job in any call center or travel agency.

@LittleDreamer,
I didn't know what I wanted to major in college, but I knew it had to do with Business. All Business majors are required to take Accounting 101, and I got an A. I found my calling.
To make a long story short, my Accounting major provided me with all the opportunities I couldn't dream of as a high school student. I had four job offers before I even graduated, but went to work for Florsheim Shoe Company as a Field Auditor in the seven western states. After 3.5 years, they promoted me to Audit Manager with a hefty raise in pay.
Since then, I have traveled to 85 countries in over 200 trips.

I have always told my children to go into a field they will enjoy working in for the long term. That's the same advise I will give to you.

Our son graduated summa cum laude and with honors for his graduate degree. He now works for the University of Texas in Austin. His pay is not that good, but he's enjoying his job.
