Jobs to hold a writer over?

In each state I've lived -- all on the East Coast -- a college degree has been necessary to substitute teach.

 

Work with a temp agency. I've gotten many short- and long-term assignments through a couple of them over the past 15 years. I think they're viable places to look into.

 

I've worked places where all you needed was a HS diploma. In fact, my mother's favorite sub when I was growing up had never been to college. It depends on the state, and many of them are moving away from requiring a degree because of the tremendous shortage of substitutes.

Now, a long-term sub is more than likely going to have to have a regular teaching license, but the ones that come in for a day or two, not so much.

 

Second the temp agency. There are several that focus on creative assignments, both short- and long-term gigs. Aquent is one that comes to mind, and it has several locations.

Just be careful, future pimps. It's a dangerous profession.

 

but you DO get to work with chicks like this:

 

But you've got to deal with what comes after you do. ...

 

let's be careful out there, fellas.

 

I'd rather hang myself. Anyway, the biggest thing for me -- aside from flexibility to still write -- is benefits.
