To teach or not to teach?
Teaching English is a classic expatriate way to make money while living abroad. There are countless companies and ways in which you can make a living teaching your stronger language while living in another country. But how good of a job is it really? A lot of depends on the country you live in. For example, earning money living in Asia teaching English has afforded hundreds of English speakers a hefty savings and money to spare, while in South America the story is more of that of overworked and underpaid.

Thanks for the article. I’ll check it out. I always wondered if teaching English is worth it. I’m sure the experience will outweigh the pay…maybe.
It most certainly will. I guess thats what travel is all about really. The summation of our experiences. I mean how many of us are out there traveling and making money on the process. Its definitely about something more. You’ll have a great time. A ton of people I know have found a lot of great other opportunities through the relationships they made via teaching English. Buen Viaje y muchas suerte!
