Well said Turnoi. I would sy it is possible to have a decent job in EFL/ESL. It is not a career though. Ofcourse a GW working at a place like EF will think it is their career (ROTFL)

ESL, mostly crap, a few bright patches however amongst all the gloom and doom.

Teaching English in Asia: certainly NOT a career. 100 per cent right again!

With you and Turnoi both, I concur wholeheartedly; it is certainly not a career which is why career teachers with real degrees should not be needed to teach oral English. Having degrees comes with the expectation of a career and a pension, does it not? The only pensions we FT's can expect are those that come by mule with the grace of CitiBank. Well said , Silverboy.
