It all depends on what your state laws require. Here in MN you need a 4 year degree with a valid Minnesota teaching license to teach full time. (You can substitute teach with any four year college degree if the local school district chooses to allow you to do so. My district does not allow this since we have plenty of licensed teachers who want to sub in the classrooms.) Your license will certify you to teach in specific areas. For example, birth through 3rd grade, K-8 with an area of specialty, or secondary (high school)level like Math, Language Arts, Social Studies, etc.
I have had a teaching license since 2001 and have taught since 2003. First thing I did was to obtain an associate of arts degree from a local community college. Took two years. I then went on and got my bachelor of arts degree in education. Took two years. I am licensed to teach 1st-6th grade, I have no minor, and to be quite honest, I am not very marketable. (Have been with my district 6 years and have no interest in ever teaching anywhere else anyway. Have no worries about cuts either since I have enough seniority at this point the whole district would have to fold before I'd loose my job.) Most schools will require you to have the endorsement to teach kindergarten and will also want you to be licensed to teach up through 8th grade. MN changed it's whole teaching requirements the year after I graduated from college. Now elementary education students are licensed to teach in K-8 programs and have to declare a specialty area such as math, social studies, etc. Hope this helps answer some of your questions. If you're thinking of choosing this as a career, it sure works out nice for a farmer's schedule. I have the summer months free to make my hay for the winter.
