Default Re: I taught English overseas! --- So What!

Hi all,

This is always an interesting topic. Many of us come here after uni and we don't know what to expect. Then when we are here for a while we start to wonder "What exactly can I do back home?" If we want to teach in any public school then many of us will have to go back to college again. If we want to work in a private academy then we have to take a drop in pay (is what I think, maybe not true).

For this reason I am seriously thinking about doing a Masters in TEFL by distance learning to make myself more marketable when I finally go back home. Most people only have a TEFL cert. so having a Masters would be a good advantage especially when the majority can speak English compared to a minority here.

My future is in English Teaching so hopefully this is a step in the right direction.
