Seiously, any place that it's easy to get a work visa for; doing anything. I just want out of this violent, racist rotting corpse of a country.

    Uhh, I 've heard that a lot of third world countries (especially east asian countries) are looking for English teachers, and that you should be qualified as long you have any bachelor's degree whatsoever, but I don't really know much about this topic.

      Eh. I've got a family member teaching English in Japan but from what they've told me the application process for different companies are all hell and have low admittance. Maybe China or Vietnam? I don't know.

        Taiwan is super easy because they don't have an embassy so you don't have to do any visa paperwork before traveling there. Just make sure you have the physical copy of your college diploma.

        I've heard mainland China isn't tough either, but you do have to get visa ahead of time so it is a little harder.

        The pandemic might make it tougher too. I'm honestly not sure what additional hurdles might be in place now.

          There is a lot of scammy type systems in China they should be aware of too! Not full on scam but incredibly sleezy ones can get you over there on a non-work visa to teach and you'll eventually run into problems. I've read a few accounts of this type of thing happening. There is for sure assholes (as is everywhere) who try to take advantage of people in many ways in the private english teaching industry.

            For sure. I always recommend talking to former/current employees, especially if going to work abroad.

            I've heard similar stories from Taiwan and other places too, always be careful!

        I've met one person who taught in China and one who taught in Korea, unfortunately I didn't really ask them much about the process, but it is definitely possible I think.
