Kevin,
Can you walk and chew gum at the same time? Do you know the difference between write and right? Are you young and white?
Well, if you answered yes to all of these, you can be an English teacher. However, dont expect a free plane ticket. Boy!!
If a degree is a problem, you can just go on the Internet and print one out. That's just to make the work visa go through, but the school could give a rats arse.
Welcome aboard: Poly want a cracker? ... Poly want a cracker? ... Yarwk...Im an English teacher.
..but only if you stop SHOUTING!!
China is probably your best bet.
