Wonderful Job for College Students

Substitute teacher

Business Outlook

Pros

You get to choose your own schedule and can schedule jobs out in advance or the day before. It is so flexible. I am able to work 3 days a week and go to college as well.

Cons

Obviously some classes can be hard to work with because you mostly work with a different group of kids each day. It is also a little bit of a bummer to not have co-workers that you know and see regularly.
