The Inconvenient Poor

3. Just a small quibble with your excellent rant. Most substitute teachers make more than min wage

My daughter subs so I know for a fact they make more than min wage. While a lot of it depends on your location, most make $100 per day for a 6.5 - 7 hour day. Teachers with a degree and teaching certificate usually earn more (my daughter has her masters but doesn't have a teaching cert and only makes $100 per day - the minimum in her area).

That doesn't change the fact that most of their pay is intermittent and unreliable.
