If you are a high school grad and want to make $82.05 per day, you can substitute.
Texas is similar. I lived in Corpus Christi for a few years and my wife regularly worked as a substitute in that district with only a high school diploma. She wasn't expected to actually teach. She was just the adult in the room.
I don't think sleeping was one of the options though.
