"Wow! You taught ESL! Holy shit, you're hired!

You'll never hear that, unless maybe you're applying at McDonalds.

Believe me, no one's going to care that you taught ESL.

Basically ESL is a loser job and it won't get you anywhere.

I know what you're saying: "But I do public speaking, control large groups, come up with
new ideas and I problem-solve!"

So what? So does everyone else out there in the job market, and they haven't wasted a year or
more of their life working for peanuts while in no way gaining any useful skills that
give them an edge in the job market.

ESL teachers: You SHOULD BE angry at yourself for wasting your life:

You don't have to be stuck in this worthless position that nobody cares about.

Have another Crownie, Pigsy.

Not all of us are 'losers'! Some of us teach ESL because we actually LIKE IT !
As for the 'peanut salary'................well, you know best, don't you?
