 Posted: Tue Sep 29, 2015 3:18 pm Post subject: Worth it to be in Europe |
 |
|
Hi everyone - I have spent the last 5 years teaching outside of the EU (I am an EU citizen) and should be returning very soon. One thing I've noticed is that unlike most countries outside of Europe (Turkey, M.E, Asia etc) most if not all jobs require split shifts often finishing at 9pm and sometimes moving from school to school. My question is what made you come to Europe and give up normal hours etc. Was/Is it worth it? Any regrets?

If you upgrade your qualifications beyond entry-level private language school gigs, you are likely to not be forced to work split shifts. I haven't worked a split shift in Europe since 2002  (and yes, I've worked on the continent all 13 years since). |

Yes, some places are easier than others for that. I am thinking about S. Europe when I wrote the status.
Also it cost money to upgrade and many a TEFLer doesn't have.. |
