If you like school, may as well stay there. You're 50% of the way done. If you really, really don't, yes there are options. Mexico and I believe many countries in Latin America don't require degrees or certificates. I highly discourage you from wasting your money on a TEFL. I did and am sorry. I don't know why the previous poster mentioned China, since you didn't. Even if you only finish out the school year for this year, for the next 6 months you could get some good experience teaching ESL by volunteering with a literacy organization in your city and helping refugees, immigrants and foreigners. The worst thing you can do is advertise your services, but not have any knowledge in how English works. You'd be doing the student a disservice.
