I have always wanted to be a teacher and in FL can become a substitute teacher with no training. My dilemma is I will take a drastic pay cut of about $250 a week. I could use some suggestions. Thank you

I've been a substitute for over 20+ yrs - never chose to become a fulltime teacher. While the pay isn't too great, definitely couldn't live off it here inTX, it will give you far more flexibility than your paralegal position.
Many subs go on to fulltime positions within the district. Being available is the key to be contacted, and eventually you'll get a feel for which grades you prefer.
But be warned - teachers may not be all that "welcoming" and you'll need to be self sufficient and open-minded about the different teaching styles.
Good luck...

Be forewarned: substitute teaching is not like being a real teacher. In my opinion, it's a better solution for someone just starting out than someone looking for a career change.
If you are serious about teaching, go back to school and get the education and training you need.

Google your state + instructor credential to make certain what you will would desire to do.

Well, low pay is a hallmark in teaching. If you are in it for the money, go back to being a paralegal.

Take my word for granted: it is worthy!
