Math Teacher/Professor Education Question

<p>Hello guys. This is my first post on here so I apologize if this is in the wrong place.</p>

<p>I am currently an undergraduate student majoring in Secondary Ed. Mathematics and have a question regarding future education and getting a job. I know I want to teach high school right now, but I also don't want to close off the option of teaching at the college level in the future. </p>

<p>I realize the program I am in is geared towards teaching high school. However, my goal is to continue going to school after getting a high school teaching job so that one day I may pursue the path of being a college professor. I realize to teach at most universities you will need a doctorate degree, and that continuing school while teaching will be very hard. </p>

<p>However, my question is if anyone else has become a high school teacher and then continued school in order to eventually have both options open so that if I did decide I would rather teach at the college level I could continue on that path instead of teaching high school. </p>

<p>Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated! </p>

<p>Thank you very much!</p>
