While most employers or clients prefer (and some require) an editor to have at least a Bachelor's Degree in English, there is no official educational requirement to become an editor. Your knowledge of the language with regards to proper grammar, syntax, punctuation, and style are most important. Work experience also fortifies an editor's resume, especially when he or she does not have an advanced or professional degree. If you can convince your potential client or employer to hire you based on your abilities and experience it is not necessary to have a college degree to become a successful editor.
