The first video I ever made.  Quality is not great, but I am putting this up by request.  Note: this process is the US process.  The process in other countries is distinctly different.

To get your first tenure-track faculty job, you will need:
4 years to BS or BA
2 years to MS or MA (optional)
3-4 years to PhD
4-12 years of post-doctoral research
2-6 years as Associate Professor or Research Fellow.

If you start at 18, you could be tenure track as early as 31, or as late as 46.  That's a HEAP of schooling.
