It’s a maximum $45k/year job that offers no health insurance, retirement, or paid leave. Sure it’s $260 per day, but that is only for the school days that you work. Considering the number of days in the school year, and the reality that you won’t be able to find a position every day? If you max it out and sub as much as you can, you’re talking about $45k/year with zero benefits.
Not a bad gig if you’re on your parent’s or spouse’s health insurance. But if you try and work that your whole career, you can forget about ever being a home owner or retiring. Starter homes here go for $400k.
Great option for those in transition. But there’s a reason I call it decent, but hardly amazing.
Looking into it, substitute teachers in my area make from 40-50k on average, so really not far off. Considering many jobs in my area already don’t provide health insurance, it’s really not the worst option for people specifically in my area. I’m sure this is by far the exception of course, just thought it was interesting.
I was going to say lol, that’s double the average wage in my city

Still not awful for my area, with a median income of 47k. But to be fair my area is poor as shit.
And I imagine that subs in your area probably get paid proportionally less. Though maybe not.

Although TBF it probably isn’t an every day kind of thing.
