To do a PHD to become a professor or to be a teacher?

I am so sorry to bother you really busy bunch of people, I do wanna say congratulations first of all, to get a PHD or to get into it even is just an achievement for sure.

At the moment I’m confused to what to do, do I do teaching or do I do my PHD to become a university professor, but a little about me I like work life balance and tbh I feel can you get both from both jobs working 0.8? But who knows?

I currently did my B.Lang (Spanish and Japanese) GPA 4.5 (I know it’s shit lol 😂) and can do Arts honours if I want cause it’s all about who you know what you know. But I’ve been watching tv shows about teaching and it sparks my passion for it tbh.

So I’ve asked chat gpt and said more job opportunities in teaching less in being a professor in Spanish. But said possible to have more work life in being professor than being a teacher. But what do you guys think? I think professors are pretty stressed especially my Spanish professor who was running the whole department by herself doing 70hrs a week. But you get paid better than teachers lol 😂

What are your guys’s thoughts? What’s better? What pros and cons? What do you recommend for me who prioritises work life balance and being able to get a job? Is it possible to do my masters of teaching and then I can always come back to PHD? Do I try for a scholarship in the US or UK or stay in AUS?
