Anyone here have any experience with teaching English abroad in Thailand, China, Indonesia, etc? All you'd need is to be a native speaker and have a TEFL cert so you can get western middle-class wagecuck salary but with a lot lower living expenses. I was thinking that I could save up a lot of money that way and some programs even offer free housing and some monthly allowance making it even better for saving up money.
Any thoughts? Anyone have any experience with it?
I'm not talking about quality of living here, just min/maxing money making capabilities.
Go to Phuket, fuck trannys.
Taught in Korea for a year, saved up 12k since they pay for absolutely everything.
And that was with eating out all the time. I should have done another year. I knew someone who has been there for 8 years and had around 80k saved.

Taught ESL in Vietnam for a year. I was paid fairly well compared with the local salary but quite poor compared with back home. Cash in hand though so that was nice. 7 days a week roster: all day Saturday and Sunday 8am til maybe 7 or 8pm with a very long lunch break and evenings during the week from like 4 or 5pm until 8 or 9. Most of the other teachers taught at public schools during the weekdays and private schools at night but I was only doing the private schools. All ages and levels are taught.
Thailand has the most fuckable women/ladyboys in asia. Yeah, they can be two faced cunts but on the whole it's your best bet.
DON'T GO TO CHINA. You've been warned.

English or the nationality you plan on teaching English to?
I'm becoming fluent in Japanese but it's still probably a year or two off being proficient enough to teach. Even then, I'm not sure if I'd have the social skills to teach effectively, or if Japan's teaching market would accept me (might be oversaturated with weabs etc.)

I think most ESL employers don't care whether you speak the country's language and some will give you basic courses there anyway. The point is that you should only speak English in the classroom.

Some places require a BA some don't. For sure you'd have an edge over your competition if you do have one but I think it's possible without.

I wasn't really sure about the English level of the people I'd have to teach. So you're saying they know enough to be able to have (somewhat broken) conversations with you already, and it's your job to fine tune them and expand their vocab?

Well, from what I've seen when you are teaching elementary school children for example, you are using pictures and little comics to give them the vocabulary and grammar. I think you learn it all in the TEFL courses.
