Check with the school/school system where you wish to apply. I paid 15 bucks for a background check (completed by the state) and was good to go. It really is easy money and the hours are VERY flexible--which makes it a perfect second job (unfortunately, my "full time" job now). Best of luck.

Contact the school district, many districts are always looking for subs. If you have a technical degree, most will take you without any teaching credentials, otherwise you may need the creds. The way it usually works is you go in a pool and they call you if they need you, but you can always say no so it works well with the airline gig.

I must admit, I feel extremely lucky to have a 2nd job as a Casino Dealer.. My company is extremely flexible, I get my Airline Schedule and they schedule me around it. The money is absolutely awesome and it's kind of a fun job doing it part-time. It's the only way I was able to afford taking the Airline gig.. pretty sad but I am fortunate.

i am in the movie industry. Its a great gig, its mostly action movies...with couple lame lines to memorize in the begining of the scene. jk 
I work for a vet for my second job. She is very flexible with times. Usually I put it anywhere from 10-15 hours a week (depends if i am working at the airline or not). The extra cash pretty much suports my rent.
I am thinking of becoming a On call substitute teacher.

Trying to get a job at a local FBO but I also have an interview with Target tomorrow so well see. I wont turn down target if offered the job since I cant find anything else. Hopefully I can work somewhere when Im not flying to offset car/rent payments lol. Man gotta love the dream.

I bang nails for my old employer framing houses. He is very understanding with my schedule and it allows me to make much more than what I make flying the line. Also keeps me in pretty good shape, especially in this hot friggin weather. It's sad that I can make $200 a day when I have the time off during the week compared to the rediculous pay we make flying. The guys on my framing crew can't believe the wages we make flying, they are shocked! I prefer to relax on my time off but my wife and daughter like to eat and enjoy a luxury like cable tv. Oh well, maybe when I make captain I can take a day off once in a while.

I do a little part 91 stuff for some extra cash but it is the wifes job as a Nurse that pays the actual bills not to mention her 3 days on schedule gives us quite a bit of time together.
Scheduling has a large note in my file to NEVER call me to work if im not scheduled because after being an eager brand new FO and picking up a few trips, that wore off quick. Even if its a single day trip with a turn by the time I leave my house, commute to EWR, come back (if lucky) that same day and buy food I end up with something like $35 bucks. My time is worth much more than that. Including the part 91 gig I will not leave my house for less than $200 dollars or maybe $100 if its just a few hours away from the house both of which exclude my crappy airline job.

Unfortunately, my second job became my first job after being furloughed 4 years ago. Video Production for the Popo. Only thing I do in aviation now is longingly look at this board and occasional ride in a helo. It's a good idea to get a 2nd backup job in something that is totally unrelated to aviation. That way when the industry tanks your second job will probably be un effected.
