What qualifications would be useful to work abroad?
I am 16 and after getting a degree in foreign languages I would just like to work all over the world just making money and just generally traveling. I already have a scuba diving license which I will take a more advanced course in so that I can teach it. I will also take a TEFL course to teach languages abroad. Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks 🙂
Since you already have two strengths that would alone help you get work, I would have to say tour adaptability to new customs, really being able to blend what you already know with all the new things you will encounter. Look at all the new ideas and choose what is best for you. Don’t be judge mental. Every country is different so there are no set of qualifications to fit every country.
Enjoy and appreciate every thing you learn and every where you go! That is something not everybody does.

The pay is good and most supply an Apt. and your elect. and gas. You can put your resume on Daves esl cafe for free and will get many responses fast I have done this and traveled to China and Japan.

Although if you are there in person you can get a job teaching English with just a TEFL Certificate, most countries ask also for a degree. This is usually for visa purposes.
