I'm not a teacher, but I think in order to be one you have to really like kids- and as my French teacher told me, you MUST have patience. If you don't think you could do that, I would say go for the extra schooling and become a professor. When you teach university or college, people are there because they want to be, usually.
As for becoming a teacher, you have to get a bachelor's degree, and then student teach for a year, I think (which is unpaid work, usually). Then you can start teaching on your own, if you are seen fit to teach by some teaching guru.
