i've got a friend teaching in vietnam with a bachelors in art history and a $100 online tefl cert who got his flight there paid for (and his flight back when he leaves), a fully furnished apartment, and like 2k a month in a country where you can buy a bowl of pho as big as your head for like 80 cents, so while he's probably not buying a lambo any time soon, his standard of living is insanely higher than it was when he was teaching in the us. he said he had to drop any and all pretense about actually teaching people, because mostly they just wanted a white person to parade in front of parents to show why they should send their kids there, but he seems much happier

if you have actual teaching qualifications / experience and don't mind living a super boring life for a while you can also go teach in dubai / the uae / etc. for like 4k a month tax-free, again with housing furnished. those jobs are super competitive though, obviously.

oh yeah it sounds loving awful, but i've met a couple people that did it and walked away with like 120 grand tax free by tutoring on the side too, which if you're drowning in student loans is probably worth a year stuck in a lovely hot compound where you can't drink / date / go anywhere / do anything vs years living with roommates, eating ramen, and freaking out about getting sick and going bankrupt

i also met a backpacker last month that made like 3k a month teaching in yemen, which uh, sounds like an experience

i literally have no idea why anyone would teach in the us when you could just go do it in china or thailand or something without any degree / certification, get paid way more and actually respected, and have exactly as much impact on the kids (zero)

Lol at the idea that teachers get paid more in China or Thailand

if you have a shitload of debt to pay off, then yeah, you probably aren't going to make enough money to make it worthwhile since you do get paid more in absolute terms in the us, but otherwise it seems like a much better deal

if you have actual teaching qualifications / experience and don't mind living a super boring life for a while you can also go teach in dubai / the uae / etc. for like 4k a month tax-free, again with housing furnished. those jobs are super competitive though, obviously.

yeah teaching english in vietnam is a good deal if youre cool with being a white person prop while making 10x the average monthly income of the country.

i wasnt a teacher i was even worse, I Work Online, but vietnam is a really great and beautiful country imo and it might be worth it to teach for a half a year or whatever just to see the country and the rest of se asia.

They lived in a walled compound for foreigners and they weren't allowed to leave unescorted, nearly died on their insane roads where everyone drives like it's the Autobahn but with no fixed lanes, the kids and their parents treated him like a servant and not a teacher, got followed around by the secret police even when being escorted around, just all around not fun
