Each state have their own requirements about being a licensed real estate appraiser. You must google real estate appraiser followed by the state in which you reside to find out the requirements of your state to become a real estate appraiser. You are not required currently to have a college degree to become a real estate appraisal in any state that I know of. Most states require a written test to be passed after a certain amount of hours of class room instruction by a local state licensed real estate appraisal school. Most states now require you to become an apprentice before actually getting your appraisal license. Salary is relative as each person might have different motives for earning. Your motive might drive you more so than another real estate appraiser. I personally would not become a real estate appraisal, however, I have many friends that are. They appear to enjoy their positions as some are own their own real estate appraisal business and some work for other in the appraisal field. I hope this has been of some benefit to you, good luck.

You don't need a degree to become a real estate appraiser, but you will need to be licensed which will include an education requirement specific to real estate appraising (often offered by real estate schools). Where I come from Appraisers that work for someone else's company get paid about $100 to $150 per residential appraisal and appraisers are able to do up to 2 residential appraisals per day. But the question is would you be able to do 2 appraisals per day given the lower demand for appraisals due to market factors. I recommend you interview at a couple of appraisal companies to see if you can even see a likelihood that you will be able to get hired if you got licensed. I did this very thing early in my career and the owner of the company frankly told me that there was no way I could make the kind of money I wanted to make as an appraiser and talked me into becoming a Realtor instead. I took his advice, and he was dead right.
