NC Teacher License

I filled out the form for my North Carolina teacher license the day I had my interview. They say it takes months for it to approve. I was also told that I'd get Bachelor's Degree pay until my NC teacher license went through. Then they would back pay me and start paying me Master's Degree pay. That makes absolutely no sense to me. My Master's Degree has nothing to do with my teacher license. Luckily for me, my NC teacher's license went through today which means I'll get my back pay! We get paid on Monday. I doubt I'll get the pay then, but I should definitely get it in April! Yay for extra money!
