I see everyone on this board talking about thier careers as an English Teacher. I see mostly complaints about agencies and the salaries. Does anyone actually benefit form teaching? Is there actually money to be made, or is it really just barely enough to get by and fly home. Does anyone actually enjoy thier position? You can always get a job in your home country making 500-1000 a month so why go over and continue to torture yourself. Are there actually any great places to go without the headaches? I know it a lot of questions but it makes me wonder after reading all this misery and compliants on here. Is it just all a nonsense fairytale about finding a great job in exotic places, getting a great job for lucrative pay, and perhaps even finding true love?
