I often look at ads on telf.com and all the other sites that require you to have degrees (pref in relevant subjects) and then I look at the saleries and conditions they are offering and the two just don't match up. I don't think there are many other porfessions tha offer such low pay and conditions in return for a uni degree. I think in some ways they are being far too demanding. I think i have alot to offer in teaching english and i don't have a degree. I think it's a shame that some emplyers have such high expectations.
Well thats all

The OP asked if a degree were required to teach English. Sheena�s answer proves that you not only don�t need a degree, you don�t even need to know how to spell or write. |

Neither do the students you teach, for that matter. |

Here in Japan, you can start teaching in most places for US$27,000 to 32,000. You don't need experience. Your degree does not need to be in an education-related field (like linguistics or EFL). You don't need to speak Japanese. Most conversation schools either have a set format provided for you (and furnished housing set up), or they allow a very loose set of classroom lesson plans (sometimes none at all for the freestyle classes).
I don't know what it's like in other countries, but the question that comes to my mind here is, What other sorts of professions in the world offer such "demanding" requirements?
Also, bear in mind that if you are eligible for a spouse visa, dependent visa, student visa, or working holiday visa, you don't need a degree, but you can still teach English. |
