I am not becoming a English Professor just to make money.English is pretty much why I am alive.English is my niche.I am in 11th grade, and decide to start now and find out everything I need to know.I know its going to take a while 8 – 9 years thats why I decided, I can fall back on Highschool Teaching while I am persuing my English Ph.D and other stuff like that.Because I hear its hard to get a job as a English Professor, so thats why I have three Plans.I think Double Majoring in English, and Philosophy is a good Idea.After I do so I can Either go to Law school, Become a ighschool teacher, and Chase MY DREAM to become A English Professor.Should I me majoring in something esle?

Go for the major in English, but I’d suggest a double major in another subject, such as math, history, science… because the more subjects you are capable of teaching, the more a school will want to hire you, because they can just shuffle you around to whatever subject needs teaching. Oh, and obviously you’d need the minor in secondary ed.
Just go for it. Follow your dreams :]
You’ll need a Masters to teach English on the highschool level (along with a teaching degree), and a Doctorate (PhD) to be a professor.
