Should I be a History Teacher?

So I’m currently going on my sophomore year of college majoring in Social Science Education. I love it, and I love learning about history more than I can explain. Honestly, teaching is the only thing I’ve ever seen myself doing.

My problem comes to the fact that I am taking out a lot of money to attend my college (which I love, and won’t be transferring from even if it’s not a good idea) and I worry about my quality of life once I graduate. I just don’t know if I want to deal with being underpaid for the rest of my life.

I live in Alabama, so I know that my pay will be bad. I just don’t know what else I could do. This has been the only job or major that has sounded interesting and fulfilling to me.
