How many years of college would you need to become a paranormal investigator?

We need to distinguish between "paranormal investigators" and "parapsychologists". Paranormal investigators may or may not do their work as a profession. Many in fact are amateurs or hobbyists. Those that are working full-time are rare. Many have college educations, but in various fields. There is no college degree for "paranormal investigation" per se. Applicable degrees might be in the sciences or the humanities. But actually coming to learn about paranormal investigation would require self-study and participation in credible investigating groups. Some paranormal investigators become interested in the field as an extension of their regular work as engineers, physicists, psychologists and even police. Parapsychologists are mainly academics. While Parapsychology degrees have been offered at universities all over the world at the Bachelor, Master and PhD levels, they are not very common in the United States today. Most working research parapsychologists (of which there are a few hundred in the entire world) have advanced degrees, generally in psychology, physiology, neurology, or some other field of medicine or general science. Some are degreed in philosophy, education or history as well. Research parapsychologists publish their work in peer-reviewed journals such as the Journal of Parapsychology published by the Rhine Research Institute in Raleigh-Durham, North Carolina (www.rhine.org) in the U.S. The European Parapsychology Journal is a similar peer-reviewed journal in Europe. Parapsychologists also publish in other scientific journals as well.

Is a paranormal investigator a career?
No not at all. Genuine Paranormal Investigators do not charge for their services. However you could write books on the subject, but then you would be considered a writer....
What is the name for paranormal investigators?
You said it! Paranormal Investigator is the most common. Ghost Hunters are less formal. The group I head consider there to be a distinct difference between Paranormal Investigators and Ghost Hunters. Paranormal Investigators investigate all matters of the paranormal and try to work based off of some semblance of a scientific method. Doing field studies, and taking detailed notes and data to later be crunched into a report and sometimes scholarly papers to be written. Ghost hunters are groups of people who get a thrill form finding ghosts.. But to clearly answer your question: Paranormal Investigator, Paranormal Researcher, Psychic Detective (If the investigator claims to be psychic), Ghost Hunter, Parapsychologist (If the investigator has a degree in parapsychology). Those would seem to be the most common.
