Have you considered taking a CELTA (the biggest, most expensive, some go as far as superior) or a TEFL course? It only takes a month. I believe either will open some doors to more professional language schools (nobody here is picking a CETLA vs. TEFL boxing match so let's not have it). Plus cover some issues that are essential to teaching English as a Foreign language -- especially in adult education and possibly with young learners (I only have experience 10 years old and up). And I have only taught in eastern Europe.

Rumour has it, that the places who want you to teach wee little ones (5 - 8 years old)... as I understand don't require a CELTA or a TEFL.

Like I said I've never been to Asia either. My friend, who has an CETLA, taught at universities in Thailand and stayed for three years.

Don't listen to everything you read on this page there are a lot of unhappy people posting rubbish. I am still looking for objective information on South Korea.

I'd say if your from the EU, go to Spain or Italy, loads of work,sunshine, great atmosphere. Quite frankly I envy EU English speakers. If your not, do some research about work visas before you cross the pond.
