Math Majors

Hey /sci/, I know that there many intelligent people on this board since every math question gets at least one, correct, serious response, no matter how difficult.

I'm majoring in math right now as an undergrad, I was planning on becoming a professor. But I'm wondering if I'm chasing a pipe dream by trying to do this. I mean I'm certainly no genius, and maybe i should really be thinking of money and how I'm going to support myself rather than pursuing something that i love.

I'll be honest, what really got me thinking about this was this article: http://philip.greenspun.com/careers/women-in-science

What are your opinions? For those of you that are majoring in math, what do you plan to do once you graduate?

Does anyone know much about community college teaching? I know it doesn't require a PhD, but I've looked at a lot of the CC's near where I live "recommend" a PhD for most or all of the jobs, which is worrisome.

Also, with regards to private schools (mainly high school level), do they usually require any sort of teaching certification? I was originally going to get certified to teach in my state while I worked on my BS in Math, but the undergrad director at my university talked me out of this (fucker!) by saying it would make it harder to get into grad school. If I stay at my current university it would take another two years (probably concurrent with an MS in Math) to get certified now, and I don't really have any interest in teaching in public schools since every family member I know who has hated it.
