Folks,

Wondering just how much weight is assigned to the AGE FACTOR by prospective employers?

I'll soon begin studying for my tesl/tesol certificate and hope to teach in Asia. Preferably in Japan or Korea. Perhaps China, however, I've heard that salaries there are not high enough to sustain a comfortable lifestyle.

I digress. I'm presently 62 years old and I've heard that most schools recruit young people almost exclusively. Any chance an OLD MAN might still get a decent job and contribute something before his demise?

If employment by one of the leading schools in an area is not a viable option, then what are the chances of one promoting himself? I.E., home based tutoring/schooling, etc.?

What say you?

Any input will be, as always, greatly appreciated.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS

Bill Box
