Answer 1

In the U.S., you can teach at a community college if you have a Master's degree. However, to teach as a professor at a university, you need a Ph.D.

It usually takes an additional 5-7 years above and beyond your bachelor's degree.

Answer 2

A Master's will probably net you a professorship at a junior college, but a doctorate will probably be required for a full professorship at a 4 year college. However, you will also have to publish (write articles or books) in order to keep your professorship, or bring in grant money for research projects. It really doesn't matter what your chosen field is, it's pretty much the same everywhere.

Answer 3

To be a professor, you must have a Ph.d in the field of your interest and even require you to have published articles and papers in journals, etc. A bachelor would mean you would be able to tutor, a masters lecture and ph.d - professor. Furthermore, you must be an accomplished academic and scholar in your field to become a prof... good luck.

Answer 4
