Am I likely to get a job after university?

(Posted elsewhere/ copy and pasted here)

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the place I should be posting this, I guess I just want validation of sorts to keep going..

I'm double majoring in history and psychology with a minor in anthropology.

I want to become either a 6th grade or a high school school history teacher but l'm hearing a lot about how difficult it is to get a teaching position.

Someone else said their school throws out most applications because it's an easy position to fill, someone said it's better to become a coach first... yesterday I read a comment that said they've went through 70 applications. That's insane.

I'm not sure what I can do to stand out more, l'm in my schools honor society, and l've made the deans list every semester, is there anything else I can do?
