   Check your state’s requirements at the Dept of Education site.

   In NJ you need 60 college credits, not necessarily in the field you want to teach.

   Fine arts for an substitute art teacher perhaps. You really have to have a BS in the field. Though I hear for elementary education, some schools accept teachers with all kinds of bachelor’s degrees.

   Every school district sets their own requirements. Most o in my area anyway require a bachelor’s degree. The subject doesn’t matter.

   It depends on the system. Some systems require some college hours in any topic and others only require completing an application and receiving a “sub license”. If I was going to college I wouldn’t aim at being a sub.

   It differs from state to state, but I think most states all you have to have is a high school diploma. You have to get a substitute teaching certificate, but you can get one of those from your local board of Education. Look up the board of education online and see what you can find.

   Requisites for subs vary depending on the state and school district. Some require a high school diploma, two years of post-secondary ed, a bachelor’s degree in any subject (this is the most common), and some even require a formal teaching license, though this is rare.

   If you’re interested in subbing in California, apparently you need a bachelor’s degree in any subject.

   In most states there’s also a thorough application process which may require basic skills exams, health screenings and immunizations, criminal background checks, and fingerprinting.

   But it’s all quite worth it–subbing can be a lot of fun, and you get to know all the different schools (and therefore all the children) in one schools district! And when you’ve had a great day, you can keep that class in mind. And when you’ve had a bad one, you can say “no, thanks,” next time they call you for that class. When you’re sick or just don’t feel like working, no problem (unless you do this a lot—teacher registries can also put you on the lazy list and stop calling you if you take off too many days). It’s really a fun, flexible job.
