I don't like work so I thik efl is for me'..I can't speak any languages -- see the title of this---I;m lazy...I don't have a degree--why should I? I am smarter than people with BA's..I've read Thus Spak Zarathustra...Wilde said "Dont let school get in the way of your education" and that is my motto...A BA (BS I should say Wink ) is for people bad at math and don't know what to do.

I will not get a TEFL of any sort because they are money rackets and they can't tell me anything I don't know...I also don't know a noun from a nightclub but it doesn't matter...A Korean told me you just play games and take the kids to KFC. I can do this. I am qualified.

But I am no backpacker. I will be excellent. So where can I make the most money???

As long as you are not a backpacker, nothing else matters....not even the money!

Come to Istanbul. Do a few privates and charge 50 dollars an hour. You will have to do a vısa run every three months though. I know loads of people who do this- there is also lots of lager to be had.

Boy, do you have the wrong idea about EFL!!!!

Because you can't get a work visa in many countries without one.

Hey, got one in my pocket, and I'm working in EFL. You aren't. What does that have to say? You're the one who doesn't know something.

Ah, I see. A self-made genius and teacher to boot. Well done. (Employer will often dismiss you at this point in the interview if you even made it this far in the first place.)

Well, now THERE'S a reliable source! Sample size = 1, too. Oops, there's that math thing again to go along with my bachelor's degree.

Dreamer.

Considering you can't even get your foot in the door of the country where I work, it's academic to even respond further.

Oh, by the way, I just love this troll.

Just to clarify for newbies and anyone who didn't get it, Lagerlout is using irony to point out the ridiculous nature of most of the posts on this board, what we call a 'rant'.

If you don't know where you want to go then why are you considering going there?

If you don't like teaching then why do you want to become a teacher?

If you can't spell and know nothing about grammar then why do you think you can be a teacher?

If you don't have a medical degree you can't be a doctor, if you don't know how to swim you can't be a swimming instructor. Why do you think you can be a teacher without being qualified?

Because that's what you will be expected to be, a teacher.

If you're lazy, unqualified and want to make an easy buck become a politician.
