Bachelor’s in History Education, pass your test. That’s really it. And I dunno how far you’re into your chem degree, but I imagine you have a lot of gen eds done. Could become a teacher in 2 years. Maybe more.

For me (I was a HS math teacher in Missouri), the actual education program was 2 years. Once your gen eds are done, 3 semesters of shadowing a teacher + usual college stuff. Then 1 semester student teaching. Then bam you can teach.

Teaching HS though... there’s a supply and demand problem from what I hear, at least in history. No problem in math, but in history you may need to work at a school you’d rather not, be forced into extra duties you’d rather not, teach classes you’d rather not...

Up to you really, but I’d suggest sticking with chem.
Okay, so this is more subject to statea then I realized. In Oregon/California/Washington you need a masters and to be bilingual. I have a friend who has been kicking around the area as a sub for a decade, gets glowing recommendations but his bachelors is not enough to get hired.
