hi, rookie here

i was wondering if anyone has had the experience of teaching overseas (not necessarily china) where they didn;t need to go through a recruitment firm, and perhaps simply went to various schools in a city to find a job. I have a degree, but am only looking to work for one term (4-5 months), and would rather bypass the whole recruitment thing. The impression I get is that there is more money to be had doing this

Any thoughts?
