okay, i wasn't sure if i was going to put this in the travel section or in this section, after thinking about it i ended up here. since it's a job.
so i'm trying to figure out what i'll be doing in a few years. not that i don't like my job right now, but i feel like i need a break. my current job is flexible so i can go supplemental, but still need to put in at least 80 hours a year, so i've been seriously thinking about teaching. i looked up some stuff online and found that it's not very hard to get a job as an english teacher in asia. i'm interested in south korea if not then thailand. i can even pack my bags and go right now if i get accepted, cleared up my current job, paid off my house, etc. yeah right, it'll be a while before i do that. so i'm planning on selling my house and then paying off my bills before i do go.
have anyone done something like this? teaching in asia? what do you guys think about it, is it a good opportunity? the qualifications are that you have at least a 3 year college degree, native english speaker, have a visa from any native english speaking country, and be able to try out new things. and i heard that the trying out new things part is the hardest. my friend went without knowing much and she was in for a major one. supposedly when koreans get comfortable enough with you, they tend to feed you with their hand or untensils. i'm a little iffy on people touching my food. -_-
please share your opinions and experience if you've done something like this. i'll really appreciate it. and also how long do you think i should do this? most contracts want a one year agreement.
