I don't know where you are located, but in NJ, a substitute teacher makes about $20 per hour and some school districts pay more. Maplewood, NJ for instance just raised the pay to $175 per day. If you worked every one of the 180 school days, that would amount to $31,500 per year (actually, 9 months). While some on this Forum have said that they make that much, they are in the minority, and they often have to plan multi-day routes to accomplish that. As a mystery shopper, you also have to factor in mileage (I usually assume that 1/3 of my gross pay will be deductible at the IRS mileage rate). I doubt that you can replace substitute teaching with mystery shopping on a consistent basis. Others on this Forum may offer different advice.
Shopping Southeast Pennsylvania, Delaware above the canal, and South Jersey since 2008
I am a substitute teacher in Alberta. I would not be able to eliminate that position with mystery shopping.
In my most productive mystery shopping time, I made about $200 per month in fees and up to another $200 in useful reimbursements.
Now, I only do shops I'm driving right past to work or on personal errands. A little extra in my pocket and no expenses.
You can certainly make more than that. I just find I enjoy a full day teaching to a full day mystery shopping. And then reports in the evening.
I quit full time teaching, largely because I don't want to work evenings.
