I am literally shocked and appalled at a post I received regarding a very simple question about the necessity of a degree to work in various locations. I was under the impression this is a place of support for graduates of the Global TESOL Program. I was not expecting a LECTURE on my lack of honesty or inadequacy in applying for various teaching positions. What I was looking for were ideas and suggestions of perhaps places to apply from those who are, or have been in my situation. It took less than one minute to post, so to suggest I am complaining instead of using my time constructively and apply for work is absurd! Stacey, for you to assume (once again more about me, whom you have never met) what I did with my time on the last day of the course again is absurd! How is it you think you know all of this? I certainly did not divulge much information about myself and have never insulted Global TESOL. Did I have some misunderstandings about a few subjects? Absolutely. Did I call Jim and the school? Absolutely. Once again another wrong assumption from you. If you would like to know something or anything for that matter about me, let’s start with why I took the course in the first place. I am a Certified Life Coach and through this training had a very strong desire to have a purposeful meaning in my choice of a career. I left a high paying job of 16 years, relocated to a large city to start a new beginning at the age of 39. If you had met me in person you would immediately recognize my positive attitude and enthusiasm for life and adding value to the lives of others.

If you are under the impression you offered support, you may want to re-read your reply to me. One must NEVER assume.

Thank you to all that did offer support and suggestions.

I just wanted to say that what I was asking is WHERE is the best place to apply. Never to imply Tesol did not live up to my expectations!

I look forward to applying to many places and see what happens.

Thanks for all the responses everyone!

Laura and Tricia, thanks for your replies. Yeah, I am getting frustrated as well. I was not told this before my course. I will call the head office out west...I took my course in Toronto.

lol...Now we're all so conscious of our English! I suppose that's a good thing! ;-)

I am looking for a job but almost all require a degree! I have some university, but am wondering where I would have the best results to apply?

Thanks.
