I sub in Lovingto, with my BS degree. I get $75 a day. I have been
other places and they get a lot whole lot more. With out my degree,
I would only get $45 without any school hours, $55 with an AA
In Hobbs a sub with a degree gets $55, non degree gets $50. What's
up with that? Texas is a better paying job for Subs and for
teachers...Try there!
