I recommend teaching English in a former Soviet state.
>Belarus, Ukraine etc
The pay won't be great, but it will be liveable, and people won't think you're a 28 year old virgin with an autistic obsession with anime
Is it's possible to make a career out of being an English teacher?

>he doesn't know about JET
Its the biggest English teaching program funded by the government and they've dedicated it to hiring unqualified monkeys from overseas. The only requirement to work is having a degree in anything.

>Mate I'm sad for you
You're sad that I'll get to travel the world and make pretty good money from a meh-difficulty job? That, should I want to, I can buff up my credentials and make REALLY good money instead of pretty good money? Are you sure you're sad that I'll be doing this, and not that you'll still be in Arkansas sharting up the marts as your country falls apart?

There is great skill involved in teaching

Still me leaf, just enjoy your night and listen to others who have followed this path. Don’t listen to those haters, they are jealous they could not do something as obvious and yet not-easy as teach English. Literally jealousy from everyone else

>Reddit’s TEFL board
That's a good resource. There's a discord linked that's good too.
>Working there in any capacity is going to be risky
Could be. I think that there's a distinct possibility that things actually get better when you consider the consistent (and growing) demand and the shrinking supply of willing and qualified teachers. Might be wishful thinking, but I've still got ~8 months to scope the situation before I make a decision.
>Being certified as highly literate in you native language is not a skill
Ok, Hans.
I would actually way prefer to live somewhere in post-Soviet Europe but the pay is really trash.
>and people won't think you're a 28 year old virgin with an autistic obsession with anime
Imagine not having a career by 28. Imagine watching anime.
Paying some unqualified retard a barely livable salary =/= heavily investing in English learning infrastructure. It's the biggest bc weebs are willing to work for nothing if they get to live in glorious Nipponu. Unless it was at a Canadian international school and several years in the future, I'd never teach in Japan. I could just visit from wherever I was if I wanted to.

Thamks burger. Didn't expect such vitriol from Yas Forums when asking about living and working abroad.

You do realize this argument just looped back to prove my very first statement is right? English teachers being expendable monkeys
James Thompson
It's not, it's what's expected of a non-mentally disabled human being.

ESL teachers are single handly destroying european's reputation in Korean and Japan.
90% of all white people here are retarded ESL losers, and don't get it wrong: they are considered scum and pervert by the general population here. I fucking hate you guys, because most of you are coming here straight to taste the tight asian pussy, and everyone knows it. Japan and Korea attracts the worst the West has to offer, and because of this they start disliking foreigners more and more
It's simple: everytime I meet someone knew, EVERYTIME, I tell them in less than 10 second that I am no ELS teacher. Their attitude completly change upon hearing this.

Ohne Ironie, wie kann ein Zweiundzwanziger sich nützlich machen? Btw. in Deutschland und um deinem Land zu dienen. Ich ‚kann‘ Deutsch, zumindest unvorstellbar mehr als mein durchschnittlicher Mitbürger. Ich muss jetzt schlafen aber in etwa sieben Stunden lese deine Antwort mit Vergnügen.
Das alles wird schnell unlustig, mit der Uni vorbei und der Traum von einem europäischen Leben noch unerfüllt. Grüße aus Klappland, sei gesichert
