You can immediately begin teaching as a substitute teacher in most states; while doing that, you can take the necessary classes to earn your certification. Your experience as a substitute will be in your favor when you apply for your first solo teaching position.

In order to earn a credential any 4-year degree will work. Next, you need to enroll in a multiple subject credential program if you want to teach K-8, but a single subject program for grades 9-12. You will take education courses and participate in student teaching. There are several tests you need to pass to earn your credential also. My experience has been that the jobs are mostly available in high school and special education. Elementary jobs are scarce, although I'm sure it depends on your location. Good luck!

It will depend entirely on the state in which you would like to be certified to teach. Contact a nearby university's School of Education and they will be able to tell you what coursework you will have to complete.
Good luck!

You should ask the school you plan to attend this question. Some classes may be transferable, most of them will probably not.
