Hi,
I am not sure whether i should put a verb or a gerund after the phrase "better than"

The example conversation is this: " A: Teaching in high school is hard. Students are little devils. B: Well, I think handling high school kids are better than handle adults in the society."

So should I say " better than handling adults" or "better than handle adults".

Next,
Since I want to be a teacher, and somebody asks me what I am doing now. Can i say," I am prepare for becoming a teacher." Did I use the verb "prepare" correctly? Is there any other ways to say this if this is not common?

thanks,
