i teach 4th grade in texas and i must say that it is a very rewarding job. everything that jumpinjesus said is very true, especially on the pro side. there really is no better feeling than having a kid finally "get it". you'll know that when you see it! hopefully, you'll get in a good school with a supportive adminstration.
before you enroll in certain degree program, make sure to know the grade that you want to teach. some programs go from grades 9-12, 6-8, 1-12. this will save you time later. good luck and enjoy it.
btw, an IQ of <70 is considered mentally retarded, in relation to jumpinjesus' reply.
