Just like the title says, how do I become a chemistry teacher? I’m currently a Junior in high school and I recently decided that I want to teach chemistry, so I want to become a teacher at a school and maybe rise up in the ranks and become a professor at a college/university. However, I don’t really know much about the process of become a teacher. Can someone explain to me what steps I would need to take and how likely would I be able to find a teaching job in today’s job market where a lot of people say I shouldn’t major in Chemistry?
