Anyone have any experience with either job? I want another source of income during the day, since I realized after a meltdown at work last night that I cannot just dance. If I've got another source of income, then I can relax and make a lot of money in the club with no pressure. But if dancing's the only thing I have to pay bills with, then the pressure gets overwhelming, I panic and get desperate, and end up struggling to make my house fees.
So anyway...I'm thinking of either substitute teaching or working for a temp agency. Problem is, I know very little about how to get started doing either of these things.What sort of education or training is required for substitute teaching? (I've got a bachelors...but not in an education field, so I'm not sure if I'm qualified.) And how do you go about getting work? Is it through an agency, or do you just go around to individual schools and apply?
I know that to sign on with a temp agency you have to take a test, but...a test on what exactly? I'm guessing typing speed/accuracy, but what else do you have to know?
How much prior experience do you generally have to have in order to get hired for either of these jobs? How hard is it to get hired? And how is the pay? (I know that varies, but it would be great to have even a rough idea.) Anyone who's either done temp work or substitute teaching, were you able to get fairly steady work?
whew. I think that's it...many thanks to anyone who can tell me anything useful.![]()
