    Well, if you qualify to be a teacher then, in theory you can teach anything

    There used to be a "rule of thumb" that you could teach up to the level below your achievement ... this would give A level Bus Studs and GCSE in all the things you have A levels in

    People do teach outside of this, however ... I have taught KS3 drama, KS3+4 ICT and KS4 Business studies without having done any of these at school

    If you have a degree in business and you go on to gain a pgce in business then you can teach that. You may be able to teach something similar as well (such as economics) if the headteacher agrees.

    "What can i teach?"

    "I" should be capitalised. Just saying, don't be an English teacher.

    You missed the finite pronoun. Minor sentences may be acceptable in everyday speech and writing, however, we're being incredibly pedantic regarding grammar aren't we?

    LOL I'm just saying, considering the OP wants to be a teacher yet lacks basic spelling/ grammar....

    I'm 16 and don't plan on being a teacher so feel free to correct me as I don't care.

    I'm sure the OP will not be an outcast from the teaching profession for not capitalising an 'i'. We're not that cruel. You're 16 and don't care about things? That's good, for a moment I thought you were doing what every teenager does at that age.
