1 :
You need a bachelor's degree (usually a 4 year degree), a clean record (you will be fingerprinted), a teaching license, and a green card (or whatever is required) if you are not a citizen. It is 'best' to get the teaching license while getting your bachelors. I did not, but I survived. As far as how much one makes, it depends on the school district and the city etc. I live in Colorado and the beginning teacher salary for school districts is around 30k starting. It doesn't matter (at least in COLO) if you teach Kindergarten, 5th grade, 12th grade. You earn the same.
2 :
go to school and get a degree. $30k after a couple of years.
3 :
Degree in education. You then have 5 years to get a master's degree. (NY) Suburbs of NYC start at 45,000 a year with a bachelor's degree. Get a master's and about 10 years experience and you'll be in the 6 digits.
