I've decided to move forward in the process & will go pick up an application tomorrow. (they have to be obtained in person). <br /><br />Also, after much thought, I would be getting finger printed & having a background done later this Fall anyway in preparation for my Practicum in the Spring...so I guess I would have been spending about this same amount of money anyway...<br /><br />Hoping I can get thru the process quickly and get called to sub. I plan to only sub at the Elementary Level...those bigger kids scare the bejeezuz outta me. :)*krystyn*https://www.blogger.com/profile/08611182339906918223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662855016447426610.post-68812298074002143172009-10-13T22:21:34.221-04:002009-10-13T22:21:34.221-04:00I think it would be a great investment.

It doesn't hurt to sign up for it and when they call you know you made a little money that day. I swear I thought they made more than that though.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02816842738964139797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662855016447426610.post-62785365381853497722009-10-13T13:44:30.718-04:002009-10-13T13:44:30.718-04:00Kristi-

But you only need to have a HS diploma to sub...probably explains Tennessee's very POOR education statistics & HIGH drop out rate.*krystyn*https://www.blogger.com/profile/08611182339906918223noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662855016447426610.post-16641630534862085592009-10-13T13:42:24.931-04:002009-10-13T13:42:24.931-04:00Your subs only get $65 a DAY??????????

I didn't think I'd be working a ton as a substitute, but sometimes I have to turn down jobs because there is such a demand, especially on Mondays and Fridays. My advice is to leave personal notes for the teachers with your info so that they're more likely to request you as a sub in the future. Just wish you guys got paid as much as we do out here (though I did just realize that I'm getting paid $10 less/day than I was last year). <br /><br />Good luck!emilysuzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01236106645679996405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-662855016447426610.post-77320396305050929652009-10-13T12:40:53.030-04:002009-10-13T12:40:53.030-04:00I say it never hurts to have the option.
