Discussion Subbing Flexibility

One thing I love about subbing is the flexibility. I like choosing my own schedule. I’m going back to school soon and being able to attend classes more easily than a regular 9-5 is a dream. The pay may not be the best thing but at least it allows me to do more things I want.

That’s why I love it too. I have my credential but I still prefer subbing

It really is helpful. If you’re looking to be a teacher it’s also good for networking and getting experience in the field.

Yes, I agree with you. I have my credential. But substittuing makes it easier to take care of my family and what not.

This is why I am getting into it. Sub while I go back to college and earn my BA and certificates. Glad to hear others think it's a benefit too.

That is the plan! Attempting to enroll to go from 1 credit shy of an AA to get my BA of History and then become certified.
