re: Anyone here teach English in a foreign county?

I've almost done it a few times, the issue I've run into is money. Outside of Dubai you will not make more than 1-2k a month.
That is not a lot even though shite is cheap, if I was younger without the bills I have now then I would jump on it as teaching overseas is not hard really. Plus you have enough off time to go and travel.

I would recommend TeachAway to help you look for a job.

You won’t get hired in any of the more popular Western European countries. I am pretty familiar with the space. Head for Moldova or Romania or something like that - People that still appreciate Westerners as sort of a trinket.

Or you know grow up and get a real job.

I teach English in South Korea. I've taught over here for almost 15 years. I'm married to a local, an we have one son. I've taught all ages of students from elementary to adults. If you are single, I would suggest trying it for a year. The E2 visa ( English teachers visa) is tied to your employer. The contract is usually 1 year. There are private schools and public schools to work for. I would suggest trying to get in a public school to start. (eslcafe, worknplay)

I didn't know any Korean before I came here. I still am not fluent or near fluent in Korean. It's a slow process to learn a language when you're teaching another one.

Also maybe hook up with European women too.

Maybe?

Seriously, a nephew of mine did a couple of years teaching Engrish in Japan and loved it.

He now works for a Big Four firm and his fluency in Japanese has opened doors there that otherwise would have been shut. He’s 35 and can afford to have his wife (no pics) stay at-home with youngins.

Bro go work for O&G in some distant shithole if you are single and lost. West Texas, Africa, Dakotas, etc.

Seriously, if you are single get into a career field with a ton of room for growth at the bottom doing Crappy Work and Work your way up.

Or do something like be a merchant marine on shipping boats.

Find a career that has a great upside pay scale but sucks for someone with a family. Because when you don’t have one it’s a lot easier to stand out when you don’t GAF about your schedule.

Would you mind posting a link to your company? I’m sure a few baws on here might be interested in looking into something like that.

pretty easy to google(unless you're joking,) i.e., jobs for expats in.... for starters

You don't sound like man who has a clue.

Look into esl certification.
You will move on from teaching career.

Since you don't like teaching learn to be an electrician.

My nephew, and his wife, both taught English in Russia. They are both fluent in Russian. Went for six months, came back for three months, then returned for six more months. They were only there for two months of the second six months they contracted for. The company got them out of Russia when Putin started showing us his butt.

During regular business hours, they taught Russian executives that were employed by American corporations at their offices. They made a lot of money on the side tutoring individuals, and their families, in the evenings at their homes.

They are both in their late twenties. They made a few friends over there, and got to do some traveling, and sightseeing. Really enjoyed it, and hated to see it end.
