I’ve been working in the IT industry for 5 years now and I’m not getting anywhere. I was thinking of getting into webdesign/developing but the competition is fierce and it will take me another 5 years to make something of myself in that line of work.
Due to some personal issues with home life I’ve decided to try teaching English in a another country. I was wondering if anyone else had tried this? You can do the course in a 4 week intensive session or part time over 27 weeks. In the end you get a qualification that helps you get a job abroad as an English teacher to kids and high schoolers.
The courses can cost from £300 to £10000 pounds, the grand course is CELTA and apparently that?s the best one out there and overseas employers love it.
So here I am thinking about taking a year out of the UK to try something different. Have any of you guys done this or know people who have? What was it like? Any advice or insight would be greatly appreciated.
i just finished up a year in korea and am looking for a new job over there now, you can hit me up on on PMs if you have any specific questions. you should prob do the same to anybody in the japan thread as well, as iirc they didn’t like their thread being turned into an ESL Q&A.
this site here is kinda like an SRK for ESL teachers, i’m only really familiar with the korean forums but they have ones for japan and china as well.
