Are you sure you want to be a teacher? You'll have to deal with a lot of hideously dressed idiots, and the adults are probably worse than the kids. Perhaps you think you can stand up for the bullied, but that's likely to put you in conflict with the jocks and coaches and will not be tolerated in most schools, and in plenty of states the schools are practically run by fundies (at least indirectly, though there's an organized campaign to take over school boards--and they LIKE that certain people are bullied).
You'd probably do better in a career where you don't have to work with a lot of people, like say maybe an actuary, accountants, or statisticians (if your strong point is math), or if you're more into things like history than maybe genealogy. If all else fails, maybe you could find work as an usher or court reporter. Just some suggestions off the top of my head (having no idea what your strengths are).
I know you didn't ask and I'm sorry if this bugs you, but I don't think you'd do well as a teacher.
