What should I know going into speech pathology as a HS student?

I'm a pre IBDP student (G.10) and I'm interested in becoming a speech language pathologist but I’m not strong in biology/chemistry and I’m more of a language/communication person. Is this career still a good fit for me? What did you study in undergrad and is getting into the graduate program difficult? What subjects should I pick in the IBDP?

What would be the best position or job for someone who loves working with kids and has a passion for teaching, but is unsure if they can handle a classroom full of kids?

I am a high school senior thinking about my future, and I am a little unsure about where I want to take my teaching career. I know I want to be a teacher, but not so sure I want to handle a classroom of 20 or more kids. I was thinking I could be a speech pathologist, but I don't know what other options I have. Do you know any other teaching career options I could explore?
