Hello lads,

I am hoping you can help me out here. I'm looking for a job teaching in China, I downloaded a book off the internet called the communicative method, and bought myself a dictionary and am trying to improve my english before I go out there. But I don't have a degree and have only just got myself a flat from the housing association like, is a degree a prerequizite and what is a TEFL, sounds like a brand of kettle to me? I also only have 19 quid to my name and don't want to go out there empty handed, is part time work possible, like even working in a bar or as a pot washer.

Thanks for these boards lads, very encouraging, and hope you can help me, the economy in england is bad now, and that mr cameron has cut my benefits right down.

Cheers, Alan
