I just came across this article from Kiplinger's Personal Finance reprinted on yahoo.com. The article is about career switches and mentions Dave's as a source off information about work teaching English in Asia:

If you're looking for a higher-level job, consider going east to teach English in China, Japan, Korea or Taiwan. All of those countries have an "insatiable demand for native speakers of English," says Susan Griffith, author of Gap Years for Grown Ups (Globe Pequot Press, $20). Teaching jobs vary widely; to get an overview and feedback from participants, go to www.eslcafe.com. For example, the JET Programme offers one-year contracts worth 3.6 million yen (about $31,000), enough to pay rent and other living expenses.
You usually don't have to speak the native language or even have teaching experience. But you'll feel more prepared if you become certified in Teaching English as a Foreign Language (TEFL) or English as a Second Language (ESL). Explore options at www.english-international.com (for other Web connections, see the box at right)." |
At least they put in good advice on getting certified, along with checking things out before coming.
