Hello all! I plan on taking an extended trip to Asia staring in February. I plan to vagabond around till summer time or late summer at which time I would like to teach English in China. I am an attorney with a JD and have a BA in English. Quesions:

should I get some sort of certification or is my education sufficient? If so, which one is the cheapest or the quickest?

Also, should I secure a job now? or will I be able to get one when I'm there? If so, what organization should I apply to?

Finally, which is the best place to teach in China?

Thanks in advance for all your much needed help!!!

You are already eminently qualified for the kind of job that awaits itinerant backpackers in the Middle Kingdom. No teaching qualifications or experience necesary. It would help a lot if you are caucasian.

You will be doing a great service to China by allowing school/university leaders to fulfill their quota of white faces at minimum cost.

I am an attorney with an attorney as a girlfriend perhaps?
