IMHO: don’t do scribing if you already have plenty of clinical contact hours, there are higher paying clinical/research gigs around, and/or you don’t like being inconvenienced. There were many valuable lessons (both clinical and career related) to be learned and yes the pay is abysmal, yes the hours can be long, yes it can be inconvenient sometimes, and yes your management may not just let you take the whole week off for finals and screw over your entire team covering for you. I had a different experience than OP as the chief scribe at a small ED program. I'm still a scribe at the free clinic but I miss my tough Cardiology Scribe job. I went to break one day and just didn't go back. You were invisible to doctors, answered to nurses who did nothing but nitpick things that didn't matter.
