Foreign country English teaching - viability?

[chadmanlet04]

I have C2 in IELTS, C1 in German (TELC Hochschule) and Swedish/Turkish is my native language.

I currently do freelance work by running and maintaning the infastructure (both back and frontend) of some online pharmacy, but meh. Painfully average wage, not too fond of it either.

Should I fuck off to somewhere outside of Europe for English teaching? Will 3rd world pay me ludicirously compared to local prices?

Any teachercels?

3rd world and good pay is an oxymoron

Don't they get paid in USD/Euro tho? You could simply exploit exchange rate.

I've looked into Japan but very competetive and over satured. I once applied for some private international school in Osaka for shits and giggles and while my qualifications were impressive they booted me off during online interview. (Eliminated at first phase = over)

idk about SK.

Become a certified translator. It's easy money since people still can't depend on just google translate so they actually need translator for it. To make it less boring for you, pick a language of a country you want to visit or pick up girls from and learn that language. 2 birds one stone.

All these people talking about jobs don't know shit. If you have top grades, an English major can pursue any internship or job that isn't completely STEM oriented, I.e. most of them in fields like banking, consulting and management, not to mention those more closely related to the publishing industry.​

I'm just getting into it. I'm saying what my experienced colleagues know.​
