I was also thinking about the whole professor thing and to be honest, I don't think I could deal well with some irresponsible fresh outta high school kids.
Good thinking, being a professor usually pays very little. Universities and colleges across the nation are cutting full time positions and saving money by hiring tons of adjunct (part-time) professors. By hiring professors on a part time basis they aren't responsible for providing benifits. It's really hard to get a full time position even in the community colleges. If you weren't already concerned about the 'fresh outta high school kids' than I'd suggest possibly teaching at the high school level. Science teachers are still
high in demand even in this economy. You could possibly do 'Teach for America' where the organization will pay for your masters degree (tuition, fees, etc..), they'll assist you with your teaching license, help you find a full time teaching position, and of course you'll get a teachers salary + benifits. You'll basically be teaching full time, while completing a masters degree. It's just something to think about
