Re English Teaching Jobs but NO Degree?? (CELTA)

So what are you saying Turnoi? Dont bother becoming a CELTA qualified teacher unless you have a degree or unless you like low paid crappy teaching jobs for your career?

Teaching in the orient is not a career, it's for ne'er-do-well, not the sharpest tool in the box types like myself who certainly wouldn't be able to make the grade as a proper teacher in own country. A CELTA course only takes 4 or 5 weeks, any nitwit can do it with a modicum of understanding of the English language. It'll help you get by teaching white monkey English to foreigners. I myself did a TEFL alongside a labourer in a metal foundry and an ex-vagrant who was sleeping rough on the Charing Cross Embankment. I have a degree but that doesn't make me a proper teacher. Nevertheless, I have a good time in China but it's only a very long working holiday. I wish people would stop bandying about words like career and profession in connection to FT'S.

A CELTA or TEFL may get you a more favourable working holiday, better than going home to stand in the soup queue.
