Bilingual/ESL, which is the better path???

[paul e.]

Hello all,

Years ago i worked for a private ESL school and enjoyed it very much. Currently, I am in a program which is subsidizing a masters degree in elementary bilingual education. I took the position because I wanted to break into the ESL world and hopefully make a career out of it

My questions: Is this the best degree or route to a career in teaching English?

Does a bilingual education degree make any difference (positive or negative) to employers seeking educators of English?

Am I wasting my time with a degree in "elementary" education if I want to teach in the adult world???

Any suggestions or input would be appreciated.

Many thanks,
paul e.
