				| Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia? Relatively safe these days or insanely dangerous? Teaching opps. for native American? Decent working conditions and pay, if so? 
 Also, I know that Celta and Trinity, are a couple of the better teaching certificates to have. But what if I have a 140-hour i-to-i certificate with just 20 hours face to face in-class training; a business English specialist certificate from same; my bachelor�s in journalism; 10 years experience as a freelance writer/editor; and three years experience teaching ESL in the U.S.? I�m a native English speaker from the U.S. I�m in my mid-50s. Considering all this, am I in a good position without one of the upper-tier TEFL certificates?
 
 Thanks in advance for your consideration with this.
