Sure, being a teacher comes with a certain level of stress, but since this is a university we’re talking about the levels are a lot lower because the students are more mature and therefore easier to deal with. You’ll have lessons to plan, great conversations with students, and you’ll be able to teach others the things you know yourself. You’ll need to have higher education yourself, typically a Ph.D., but a master’s degree may be enough. This depends on what college you have your eyes on, of course.
