how to know if art ed is a good fit?

hello! i am a junior in highschool so i have to start getting more and more serious about my future (which im not enjoying if you're wondering)

i want to at least attempt career in art as its the one thing i think i could do good in, and im considering different paths! one main one is children's book illustration, but i know how unpredictable that can be so i'm prepared to have a plan b or c or even d.. one of those is teaching art in (probably) a middle or high school!

my main question is, how do i know if being an art teacher would be a good fit for me? from what research i've done i think i would like it, but i cant really know until i try it, i'm assuming, but if theres any advice anyone has on knowing if someone would be a good teacher/even like it, id greatly appreciate it!!!

thank you!!!! 🌼

(random side question: how is the dress code as an art teacher? i dress pretty funkily and love bright colors but i don't know how far you could really take that as an educator? thanks again!!!)
