- westiseast 10y agoYou can work 20 or less hours a week and earn a reasonable salary and have a pretty fun life - booze, travel, girls, culture. Or you can work 40-50 hours a week and earn a cracking salary, maybe save a whole bunch, maybe get exposed to entrepreneurial opportunities that you wouldn't back home.
- ithinkinstereo 10y agoIt's easy; the main, and oftentimes only, qualification needed to teach english is being anglo-european, i.e. white. The money is pretty good, especially with the relatively low cost of living. Lots of free time to be a hedonist, travel, etc. This is also why you see not only lots of college aged kids in Asia, but also lots of older, middled-aged expat english teachers.
