It’s not silly. teaching for a college is not as clear as grade school. Typically you need a minimum of a Master’s degree in the field you are teaching. Most Universities want a Ph.D. level person. I would recommend taking advantage of any teaching opportunities in grad school. Often there are teaching assistant positions for the undergrad classes. This allows you to learn how to structure a class, write lectures, and deal with other issues. This is also a way to gain experience for your CV. You may not get a teaching position right out of school. Use your contacts and send out your resume to all local colleges for adjunct positions. This will also allow you to get a stronger network and gain experience. If you really want to teach full time you have to be willing to move. Sometimes in smaller colleges finding a position is a matter of timing when someone else retires. I used to be on search committees at the community college where I used to work. We would get an average of 200 resumes for every opening, of those only about 75 would meet minimum requirements and we would weed that down to about 20 people called in for interviews. I hope I’m not deterring you I just want you to be realistic. It can be great to be a full time instructor but you may have to work somewhere else and teach part-time until something opens up. Be flexible and try to make your own opportunities. Good luck.

If you want to be a college prof, you’ll need a Ph.D. in your subject. If you want to teach community college or junior college, you’ll probably get away with a masters, but 4 year colleges and universities need to hire as many Ph.D’s to teach as possible to be ranked higher.
