After carefull consideration and months of debate, I've decided that ESL teaching is for me. But, I haven't got a clue how a newbie breaks into this field.

I've got a bachelors of arts in business.

Should go back the school and get teaching certificate in english?

Should go get one of those tefl certificates?

Or should just hop on a plane and look for job in my target country?

I would love to teach everywhere. However, I guess my inital target is taiwan.

Does anybody have any advice for me?

first, read this board and others like it. read whatever you can find on your target area. read the work journal elsewhere on this site.

that should keep you busy for awhile.
