Are you in the U.S.? If so .....

A college degree is a very good idea but not mandatory. It will probably limit
how far you get in the field.

No, you do not have to come from the military. Another alternative is a college
such as Embry-Riddle, and another is to pay for training until you have enough
ratings to be able to get an entry level position. A lot of the time, that entry
level position is instructing.

Pay depends on experience. You may be starting with a commuter at about $20,000
a year, but it'll take you years to get that far. Around here, people working
the shelves at Home Depot make more money than instructors.
