I recently became interested in pursuing a teaching career (High School English). I am going to be enrolling in Graduate School soon. Would it be advantageous to pursue a MA in Management and then get my Teaching Certification in English. Or, would it be better to get my MA in Education (English)? I am concerned that if I do not become a teacher, an MA in Education will limit me as opposed to an MA in Management which might serve to open a few doors for me. Moreover, I would eventually like to become a High School Administrator. Please advise

you have given the answer yourself ....I am concerned that if I do not become a teacher, an MA in Education will limit me as opposed to an MA in Management which might serve to open a few doors for me..... Go for MA Management.....you can go into many other fields, banking, medicine, have a Business of your own...and if you are interested in teaching too then you can have part time tuitions

Defiantly a Degree in Education. Which is four years of an Arts or Science degree then roughly two years of an Education degree. A minimum of two years of teaching/leadership experience is recommended before pursuing your Masters of Education. To become a High School Administrator you need years of experience usually and/or a leadership certificate of some sort.

I would vote for the Management degree. Just so long as you understand that getting your teaching certification might require additional "schooling," though probably not in a typical college classroom. My old school district used to have a program where you could teach full-time and take some evening classes towards your teaching certificate (but you had 3 years to complete those). In addition, while you were teaching (with or without the certificate), you were paid a higher salary for having a Master's, regardless of the field.
