Engineer to Teacher?

I am a civil engineering student who graduates next May. I do not enjoy my major all that much. I have had several internships, and it seems like I hate each one more and more. The thought of teaching high school math has been on my mind a lot lately, and I've really been tossing this idea back and forth.

I have a couple questions. What would it take for me to be qualified to teach and how long would it take me to get there? Would I need to get a masters? I live in Ohio by the way. I have researched some things, but I was getting sort of confused. I haven’t looked all that deep into it yet, but teaching has always sounded fun to me, and I enjoy math. I figured some of you may be able to help me understand what I would have to do, or maybe tell me I’m insane lol.

In case you are wondering what kept me in my major so long is that I really like my minor in Land Surveying. With this minor, I am able to sit for my P.S. license which is pretty awesome. I guess I'm just wondering if teaching is something that could be on my radar in the future if things don't work out.

I am definitely going to finish my engineering degree just to keep options open.
