Re: TEFL. Degree or no degree?

I want to thank everyone who has commented. I admit, I expected to be hounded and warned I would be a meth addict and eating shit from the sewers while hanging out the back of prostitute within months of being in PP. I believe I will fly over in September, look for a job and start working. If I like...

Re: TEFL. Degree or no degree?

As a general comment about asking questions on forums, especially asking questions on expat forums, you will find numerous negative/you got no chance mate answers to any query which often aren't necessarily true. I am not sure why this is. Is it because some people just don't want to see other peop...

Re: TEFL. Degree or no degree?

Why do you want to compete a geography degree? I had a quick look at the lists of top earning degrees and geography doesn't even show up on one and is singled out on another as one of the worst. If you are really interested in the subject then fair enough but make sure you don't rack up £50k of deb...

Re: TEFL. Degree or no degree?

He successfully taught without a degree and said TEFL is just a joke and a scam (no joke). Happy teaching to you! He taught for a few weeks in a 5th tier school and was fired for gross incompetence. How is that successful? OK I'll adjust my statement about NJH. He successfully got a job. Being a go...

Re: TEFL. Degree or no degree?

Why did you postpone your degree? Did you realize you weren't interested in geography anymore, or was it something else? You can find a job, but it'll be a bit aimless in terms of pay and progression. It's fine if you set yourself a deadline (say, 6 months, one year), but the degree is what will op...

TEFL. Degree or no degree?

Hello everyone, I am sure you get these naive questions all the time, but any advice would be extremely advantageous to me. I am a 27-year-old, white male from England. I am currently studying a level 5 combined TEFL course (150 hours online and 20 in class). I expect to finish this course in August...
