where do I go from here?

godreamI've always thought of myself as a mathy-sciency person, though I do pretty decent in English as well. I love computers and I've figured I'd end up doing something with them... though my usual leaning towards software and programming rather than hardware and engineering has been balanced by how much I'm liking physics class.
But lately I've wondered, for possibly the first time in my life: maybe I'd like to teach. I have no idea where this idea came from, since I tend to be antisocial and cynical and totally not the type of person one would want educating the youth of tomorrow. But... I can see myself interacting with teenagers a whole lot better when I'm older, as students rather than peers. It seems though teens are catty and obnoxious, teachers tend to see the better side, really, of us. I've heard that I'd be a good teacher and a bad one, the former slightly more often... and it looks like I'm going to be helping out with the intermediate programming class next year, and possibly assisting in project physics too if AP Physics fills up...
But again, where the heck is this springing from? I think I was the only one all through elementary school who didn't want to be a teacher at some point. I'm not really all that altrustic -- sure I'd like to do something with my life, but I'm just as happy making a discovery as affecting the lives of countless impressionable youth. Plus I moan and whine about school all the time. Ah, well. Whatever. We'll see.
