To be honest, the different between a history degree and an education degree in soc studies ed is pretty small. Maybe roughly 10 classes. the Education part is like only 20 hours over 4 years.

Here in BC you must get a degree in a regular area. I have a phys.ed degree and a math minor. Once you have a degree in a teachable area (cant be some cheese ass women studies degree) you must go and get your education degree. It takes 2 more years. You can also do it in an 11 month excellerated program. This may be why BC teachers are recruited by basically everywher. Alberta which is one province over is much more like yours sounds.
You must also complete a 3 month practicum where the class is yours. Its half yours at the start and shared with your sponsor teacher, and then you get full control. This is virtually where all your useful learning is done.
