(23,156 posts)I do have an AA degree, with a paralegal certificate.
I've been going to college on and off most of my adult life and have over 200 semester hours of credit. I will brag and say that college professors often think I am one of them.
There are places where you don't need a degree to substitute teach, and I've sort of thought about that, but one friend who did substitute teaching mentioned that you had to be up early, waiting for the phone call. I am NOT a morning person. As far as I'm concerned, the world does not begin until at least 10am. So substitute teaching is simply not a good choice for me.
Most of my working life I've had an afternoon shift. I just love it. I can sleep late enough, wander off to work, and do what's required of me.
