Linguistics vs English degree for ESL teacher?

Hello I’m new and this is my first question.

I thought I’d ask it here because there are such experienced people on this site with insights in so many different areas.

My ultimate goal is to be an ESL teacher. I’m working towards my Bachelor’s degree, and the school I go to does not have a BA or BS in Teaching English as a Second Language (I know some do). So in order to be an ESL teacher, what would be the best degree to get? Linguistics (which is technically a concentration within the English department) or a regular English degree?

I live in New York by the way.
