Is there anywhere in Europe or the Middle East where one can find work, with a CELTA, a university diploma in English Language Studies (no degree yet), an EU passport, and a couple of years experience in TEFL?
In particular, I'd like to work in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Spain or an Arabic-speaking country. At the end of the day though, I'm not too bothered really. |
Hey stug, don't be stug in the mud. Seems to me you've got everything in gear to get moving, except the actual degree, so why not stick it out just a bit longer so you'll have everything you need to land a great job somewhere, wherever you want? Not sure how much longer you'd have to go, or what your overall situation might be (my apologies), but I just think someone like you can go a long way and have a great time - if you have that English degree signed, sealed, delivered and in hand before you set off.
Best of luck,

I am surprised by some of the posts regarding China.
First of all, you do not need a degree to work in China, nor even a z visa.
Perhaps this is an issue in the more international cities like Beijing, Shanghai (never lived/worked there), but not in China's 2nd cities (Xi'an, Chengdu etc.).
Secondly, and I am not saying that you should do this, but forging a bw fax or photocopy of a degree is commonplace, and I have never heard of any FTs getting in trouble for it.
3rdly, I have only been asked for my degree twice, and i have worked many many jobs in China and been here for awhile.
The first time I couldn't get a access to it, and they accepted a copy of my tefl certificate. The 2nd time, I didnt want my family to mail it to me, so I had a relative back home scan it into a jpeg, email it to me, and the printout looked looked terrible on my crappy bw printer, I mean it looked like nothing basically, and it was accepted no problem.
So I agree with the posters who say China. |
