I substitute-taught for two and a half years. Full-time teaching did not work out for me; but while I was in library school and while waiting till it started I substitute-taught, and I would NOT trade it for anything in the world. I got to see so many kinds of classrooms and students and teaching methods. The experiences I had and the things I learned would not have been picked up anywhere else.

Do not let anyone put you down simply because you have been subbing for so long. I enjoyed it very much. Substitute teachers are irreplaceable.
