Answer 1

to teach it at a college you will compete with all the MFAs and even with an MFA it's really tough to find a full time position.

Answer 2

To teach at a community college or higher you generally need to get a master's at minimum, and teaching experience will only help.  Depending upon your years teaching, experience, geographic location, etc. it can be a great career.  Just expect to do tons of professional development.  All teaching has professional development, and technology changes so fast, you'll be doing a lot more studying than you ever expected/wanted.
