Well I only have an Associate of Science in Early Childhood education and I am on my 5th teaching year. I really want to do this but I could never make it for under $1,000(US) a month. I still have student loans to pay. I'm still in school and have 2 years left but I wanted to go now before I had kids. Thanks for all of these posts. I have been told by many not to take the TEFL course that I was about to take. May just have to go visit instead.
