My wife has twelve years experience in teaching maths (what you call math); she loves her subject and wishes she could spend more time teaching it rather than helping her students with their social problems. But she would still say that a teaching career is very rewarding. It isn’t only beginners who have a hard time in the classroom.

Subbing is where those who want to be teachers and those who chose the wrong career path get weeded out, methinks. You'll do fine, and if not, a teaching degree is still a great degree to have. It's very easily adapted to other fields. I’ve never seen The Substitute, but I know they made some very low-budget sequels.

I've worked with many subs while my coopertating teacher was gone. Most subs don't have an art background, and I can't see myself going into another classroom such as math. That would be horrible, one I don't know the subject well and two based upon one how do I engage the students when I myself find the topic boring. I think going into subing I would have to build a bag of tricks to bring with me to any classroom. Some of these tricks just come with experience; so the first of many sub jobs I think will be playing the role of a babysitter until I can get the knack down. Or watch The Substitute staring Tom Berenger. <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/6304490127/qid=1118267601/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_3/102-4965749-0821723?v=glance&s=dvd" title="The Substitute (1996)" rel="nofollow"></a> Although I have not substituded yet and only student taught I feel that pain.
