There are many factors to consider when exploring positions, and the chart below may help answer questions related to each position's requirements, scheduling options, and additional details. If you are not sure about making an ongoing commitment, consider becoming a substitute or making a short-term commitment of two or three months to help cover some of the extra openings during the winter travel season.
