Hmm … I sense a little confusion with your career goals. At your age, this is OK; your first years in college should help you solidify what you want to do.

That said, I would recommend choosing either chemistry, or chemical engineering at a solid school, and intending to get the best grades possible in your major. If you become highly competent in a chemistry-related field, the high school teaching track should be open for you later on. On the contrary, if you do not achieve much in a chemistry-related field during your university years, you may not have the option of going into chemistry / chemical engineering fields later.

It is generally the case that chemical engineering is industry-related, and there’s a likelihood to obtain a good-paying position if, again, you apply yourself and do well. Chemistry as a natural science requires dedication, and one hopes, a love of chemistry. Several career opportunities may arise if you pursue advanced study in the natural science.
