As of right now, I'd have to say D.

I haven't taught yet, so I'm not sure if I'd like to do it as a career. I do, however, want to do something worthwhile while seeing and experiencing other parts of the world.

Thanks Alan! Yeah I'm pretty sure Thailand requires a bachelor's. It seems the majority of Asian countries do (China being a major exception).

I just read that Indonesia doesn't require a degree. Definitely going to look into that!

Good luck on your search and let me know if you find anything!

Hi There,

First off, sorry for the long title ;).

I'll be completing the Global TESOL program in the next few days, and will be starting the job hunt soon afterward. It has recently come to my attention that it is the policy of many countries, not the individual schools themselves, that in order for one to obtain a work visa, they must hold a bachelor's degree. I should have done my homework earlier, because now this is worrying me a bit. I currently hold a 2-year diploma from a polytechnic school, and have 1 semester of university under my belt. I'm taking some time off from university as I'm unsure what I want to do with my life, and thought teaching English for awhile would be a great experience while I figure it out.

So, any suggestions for countries that are more relaxed when it comes to work visas? I'm very open and not picky at all. I know wherever I end up will give me a worthwhile experience. Thanks for the help!
