Great! It can be a great career if you take it seriously. Be
prepared to study a lot of science (Biology, Anatomy,
Physiology, Kinesiology and Exercise science, just to name a
few). Then you must be proficient in all sports as well as
fitness and games. You must know all the rules for major
sports and be able to coach/demonstrate a wide variey of
athletic skills. You will aslo have to take a number of
classes that will develop teaching skills as well as overall
education classes.
When you graduate, plan on getting a master's degree as most
school districts require one now. It is a very hard field to
get started in as well, because there are a lot of people
who want the job and are qualified and there just aren't
many jobs in each school district. Maybe two or three at a
large high school, usually just one at a typical elementary
school and somewhere in between in a average middle school. Be prepared to move to where the jobs are. An Urban School District Physical Education Teacher
