				Unfortunately (now), I decided to leave school early and start work and therefore missed university. Many years later I "discovered" English teaching, got the TESOL qualification and now have 8 years teaching experience in Poland and Germany. Ive taught in a whole range of private schools and companies. 
 
 
Without a university degree am I wasting my time even considering applying for jobs in the Middle East? I think Ive got a lot to offer in the way of experience but do companies over there see it this way too? I mean, what good would a degree in horticulture (the field of study I set out on!) be anyway???  
 
 
Would be greatful for some advice. |

Short answer: a big yes. No degree no jobs, yes bachelor's maybe jobs, yes MA, probably better ones. |
