How do I freelance until full time teaching job comes up?
I have just graduated from college and have my teaching degree in art education. I've registered with 7 school districts to substitute teach for ANY subject. I'm not called that often, and I still have full-time bills! I can't be locked down to another full time job, because I need to be available to substitute teach. It is a Catch-22! The best way to get a full time teaching job is through substituting at the schools. My question is, that I have oodles of time "waiting" to get a substitute job here and there. Does anyone know of any good freelancing that you can basically have some leeway in scheduling? I would do nearly anything (pick-up orders, type papers, courthouse recording, etc.) I just need flexibility in case a school does call! Thanks for any help with ideas or suggestions!

You can start teaching your own classes, and maybe even partner up with local art studios to help promote it. When I started photography, I contacted pet stores and said that if they let me photograph customers in their store then I would split the proceeds. They would put up flyers and make a big deal over those photo days - ended up being very lucrative. So you can offer classes on the weekend or evenings (which will not conflict if you get a substituting job during the day) and charge people either per session or for a 6 week course. Create the schedule of what you will be doing and promote it in the local art stores. You can see if there is a studio or art store that has room for small classes and see if you can do some sort of profit sharing - and remember, you are getting their customers back through their doors for each session, so don't need to be too generous ;) You can also advertise private art sessions (not sure what your specialty is) on craigslist, you can probably find some students there that want to advance their skills. My boyfriend started teaching French a while ago and found a full schedule's worth of students on there - which provided him with the ability to teach full-time.
