Hi, I am currently a teacher, without a degree.
From what I understand, to be an ABA instructor in a center, you dont need a degree, just a training course.
im wondering how much you get paid an hour for this?

It depends on your location.

The hourly rate is far above that of a teacher, but it is sonetimes hard to get enough hours. And the prime hours are often during late afternoon (and Sundays).

These centers vary in how stable they are -- look for ones that have been in business for a long time.

Your best bet is to talk to some people who work there and get a sense of the job.

Where did you hear that you don't need a degree from? I think you do!

Where I come from, you can probably be an assistant teacher in an ABA center with only a training course but no degree. You'd probably get paid better than an ordinary classroom assistant but less than a teacher with a degree. You'd have to ask specific places where you might want to work, the requirements and pay would vary.
