If you're into low pay, long hours, little respect, even less appreciation, and being trapped between helicopter parents and infuriating bureaucracy, that's the career path to take.
Honestly not trying to dissuade you. Just be aware that you have to want the opportunity to positively influence young lives badly enough to put up with all the bullshit, or it won't be worth the slings and arrows (and spitballs, and seat mines, and semi-constant behavioral issues that take away from actual lesson time, and faculty politics, etc.)
Why ANYONE wants to be a teacher is beyond me, but then again I hated school even as a student. Unless you have a fondness for a particular K-12 age group, my advice is to get a PhD and become a professor.
