Flight instructing

[liquidhockey]

Hi
I was wondering if someone could tell me what i would need to get in order to be a flight instructer both on multi and single engine aircraft?

Also what is the minimum age?

Are there many jobs out there for intstructers, would they hire an 18 year old and what is the pay like per annum?

Thanks in advance
Regards
Dave
