Newbie-
It's actually a great thing that CA doesn't allow you to major in education. Most states now require that you major in something different and minor in education, even though the minor is as many credits as a major.
I just went through this in my school. I wound up majoring in American Studies and minoring in elementary education. I was annoyed at first that I had to pick a different major. But then I realized---I'd be SO bored with just one major. It's not enough credits to graduate with either. And, if, for whatever reason, you decide not to teach, you STILL have another major to fall back on. Several of my friends from Richmond decided not to teach so they used their psych/anthro/soc/history/etc major instead.
Education isn't something you can learn, it's something you live. Trust me, you'll be glad you have at least a major AND a minor when you graduate with an education degree!
