In my state, before Covid sub pay was $100 a day in many districts and a bachelor’s degree was required. My son made more than that at Starbucks after tips.
The state had to lower the bar as far as degree because during Covid the few who were willing to accept this pay had to find other jobs until schools reopened. They didn’t come back. Now schools are still posting sub positions that state that a bachelor’s degree in that subject area is required, a master’s degree is preferred, and the pay is $130 a day. But someone with a high school degree is also paid $130 a day for other sub positions. The expectations are very different for the two positions, but the pay is the same.
