[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Para is better than substitute teacher.  Paras can get benefits. I've done both.  I am still a para because it gives better and cheaper benefits for my family than my DH's job. I work 830 -3pm which works well for my family.  Lots of (unpaid) time off and with summers off with my kids.

After deductions there is practically nothing left in my paycheck so we just use it for household  change and additional contribution to the retirement or college fund.[/quote]
Must be some great benefits. I was in DC and was not able to use any of them. I already had health; I drove. so no need for metro card, and the retirement was useless. I minimized retirement to $50 and now the money is stuck yet in another account somewhere.
The work was mentally and physically exhausting which meant I was too tired to go to my night or weekend job that paid $30 an hour. All I know is that according to DCPS my pay was $39k which doesn't sound too bad. In reality, I took home $1020 every two weeks. I will never know what was added back to it to make it out to be $39k. My guess is that even the summer vacation.[/quote]
