Hello all,

I have just finished the CELTA course at International House in Santa Monica. Other than that, no teaching experience. I have a BA, US citizenship, native speaker and am 39 years old.

My general delemma is that I can't seem to find a job that has all of the following:

1) relatively good pay
2) relatively good "professional development"
3) located in Argentina

Specific question is this.

If I compromise on the pay part, should I be able to find a job with 2nd and 3rd qualities? If so, how do I go about finding "good" schools appropriate for a novice?

thanks for any advice.

Jon

No experience is the key barrier...but, you should be able to overcome that by looking at a school that meets your second criteria. Maybe volunteering or looking for an internship at a language center will help open up the possibilities for you.

Decent pay anywhere in Argentina is hard to find these days.

Keep checking on this forum...someone is bound to pipe up from BA.
