I am a secondary education mathematics major and I have 3 more years left at a Pennsylvania University. I am considering adding a second major in Mathematics and/or a minor in Physics. I already have a biology minor. I plan on getting certified to teach Math and Biology (and Physics if I minor). Which do you think looks better, a second major, a second minor, or both? Or is there something else you would do to be more marketable as a teacher?

Welcome to PF!

How about computer science as a backup and it would allow you to be a media teacher too?
