I'm a 28-year-old white American, Muslim convert, married with 2 young children. We've decided to explore life in the Middle East so I'm looking into ESL teaching. I earned my AA degree & went on to become a Certified Medical Language Specialist while teaching preschool. Since then I have privately tutored Arab women in English while running a successful property investment/management company with my husband. I can read/write Arabic and have a basic vocabulary.

Before I spend the time and money earning either a CELTA or reputable 120-hour TEFL certification, do I even stand a chance in landing a good job?

Thanks in advance for your insight.

AA is not enough. Minimum BA is required.
