Why not substitute teach? You can do that with an Associates, it just takes a few months for the application process because you have to get finger-printed and all.

Anyone with an associates can be a sub (I'm pretty sure thats true for all the states). You usually apply at the Board of Ed office for whatever district you want to work in and, around here, its ...

An Assoc. degree with at least 60 credits, a Mantoux test, and fingerprint/background check. I think the restriction on it is, you can't substitute for the same class 20 consectutive days without a proper teaching certificate, and the pay depending on the school might only be $60-80.

Mantoux test? What the heck is that? I'm in school to be a teacher and I've never heard of that.

Isn't it similar to a Tuberculosis test? It's a medical thing, not an actual paper test.

Ahhh okay. That makes sense.

Yeh, I got the test last year and went through the fingerprinting and all, but the sub thing got crowded out with other stuff, and I didn't end up turning in an application. I might go through with it for the upcoming school year though, since I figure I could still do it while keeping up with real estate.
