I did some research, and Kentucky certifies only substitutes who have degrees in education. If you don't have a degree in education, you can get emergency certification if you have any 4-year degree. But you aren't at the top of anyone's call list, and you make less money. In Campbellsville, I would make $53 for a full day of substituting. I made almost twice that in Springfield! I'm not sure it's worth buying work-appropriate maternity clothes to make about $7 an hour. If we really, really need the money and nothing else pans out, I'll look into it again. But it's not as good as an option as I'd hoped. I would think that being qualified to teach college English courses would make me worth more than $53 a day as an English substitute.
So I'll put my effort into my resume. I'd rather build a website than substitute teach anyway. I really just need something flexible to do until I can start adjunct teaching next fall.
