It depends on your specific career plans/goals. If you want to become a professor, you would need a PhD. To be a high school teacher, I imagine you could get by with an MS.

If you plan to get a PhD, you had better really love what you're doing, because it is a tremendous amount of work. Any PhD is a tremendous amount of work.
