Cross Faculty Specialisations

I’m studying a bachelor of education at the University of Sydney and my two teaching areas are Biology and Economics. (It’s a single standalone education degree) When choosing my teaching areas, I thought that being able to teach in two faculties would be good. However, I’ve now realised that I may have screwed myself over because the only code I would obtain is economics and commerce and I actually do not have the code for business studies, so if a school is looking for a HSIE teacher they would prefer someone that could teach business, economics, and commerce right? Similarly for science, I would only have the code for senior Biology and junior science, wouldn’t a school want a science teacher with perhaps a better science focused specialisations like Biology + Physics?

It’s all suddenly hit me at once. I thought I was being more flexible doing this cross faculty specialisation, but I may have really screwed up. I am also in metropolitan Sydney area and can’t relocate to rural (family/personal reasons), so going rural for employability isn’t really a consideration.

Am I looking at this right or am I overthinking too much? I’m currently quite stressed so I don’t even know if I’m making sense.
