OK, my qualifications are simply 2 bachelors degrees from a decent American university (East Asian Studies & Business Administration). I also taught English conversation informally to two groups of students in Japan for a year while in college.

I'm quite willing to get further qualifications - whatever is necessary to become an excellent teacher (and earn top dollar).

I don't know if age is a factor - I'm already 41. Any thoughts?

Also, as an American, I wouldn't even consider going to Saudi at this time, but perhaps would consider another GCC country - especially Dubai. But how do I know that a few months after I arrive, I won't be kidnapped and beheaded in one of these countries? Is there some good reason why this couldn't happen in one of these countries, unlike what has just started to happen in Saudi?

I hit the wrong button - didn't mean to make a new post, but rather to reply to my earlier post "Best country/ies to make $$$"

You lost me there a bit-did you teach "informally" IN Japan or did you teach Japanese students while at a US college?

All in all, if you're mainly concerned about the bucks(a good rate of savings, anyway), and are worried about your "advanced" age, your best bet is the Republic of Korea. In E. Asia, it's the easiest place for an old 'un(I'm one too) to get a job.

You should consider Taiwan as well. I've heard the money is better in Korea but it ain't bad here either and while here is predominantly a kids market there is also a healthy adult market
