Don't do it. No one with a real profession should become an English teacher, aka EFL teacher. OK? |

That's one perspective... here's another -
I gave up a career in the corporate world to travel and English teaching seemed the best way to work my way around... at least that's what I saw it as, basically preferable to bar work.
So I was completely surprised at how much I enjoy it and how much more rewarding that the corporate world I found it to be. Sure, the pay is, in general, shit and the classes are not always fascinating, but at the end of the day I definitely enjoy it more.
I guess you won't know until you try it and it's certainly not for everyone, but like most things, it's what you make of it.
Good luck either way |
