Happenstance.
I'm a chemistry major originally. Here you need a major and minor to teach. I picked Physics. Those require an aggressive amount of Calculus. So I figured hey. I want to be employed. I can't do general science, which hurts my chances at smaller schools. Let's add a math minor. But I needed such a random assortment of classes to get qualified to teach math, I ended up only two classes away from a major anyway.
So, double overlapping majors and an overlapping minor, with 39 credits of pedagogy. I took five years..........
I have to admit. It's like the grammar of what I actually love. I know it's important, but I'm just here for the tools to do the cooler stuff. Though my ferret-owning prof was pretty sweet.
