I found a job living and working on a ski resort in Germany.

>I am wondering about all of the fulltime kindergarten offerings I am seeing. They say they want a degree in education along with relevant work experience
Yeah you're not likely to land a job without any kind of experience, the market there is fairly open, but they take people that did internships in school or as a volunteer year.

>I imagine native English teachers are more of a rarity in Germany because of what seems to be a higher barrier of entry compared to a place like China
No. There are very many, still not impossible to get a job, though.

If your Chinese is good, you might be able to teach that, or tutor English/German to Chinese (lots of students in the student cities)

Thanks for the reality check.

I feel like I should probably return to school after this year so I can get a real job. I'll still apply somewhere and see what happens I guess.

I have been working with a friend in China to get some essay/translation contacts in Asia, but this would ideally be supplemental income.

If I were you I'd learn German asap and start looking at the qualifications for jobs that interest you and learn the necessary skills. The labor market will tip in your favor as years pass and maybe some employers might take you on and learn as you work.

How are you getting a visa which allows you to work?

I honestly don't know the specifics for this because it is technically a US government job (they own the ski resort) where I am a kind of a waiter/ski instructor/laundry boy/security guard all at once (they will decide once I get there).

Since I am paid by my native government, I guess I don't really need a work visa, but clearly I need something if they're prepared for me to stay there for over a year right? I suppose I just have my fingers crossed that it ends up being the right kind of visa for what I want to do.

If not, I would see what paperwork is required to do whatever I want to do.

My background check is underway right now so I have not officially been hired, but there is very little information about these kinds of details from my current position .

we are just fine with our englisch teachers. education is pretty good here, english profiency in the population, too.
And probably half of all trained educators ( high school englisch teachers) have been in GB for an erasmus year anyway. So being native speaker won`t really help here to get a real job. school teachers need a special university education anyways. maybe language centre at a university? but these are kind of badly paid part time jobs. I know a guy who landed a job there, because he worked half a year for free, until they had a job for him. and he teaches spanish where we actually need native speakers.

Yeah I noticed some unis will pay you to sit in an office to help students edit their English composition, but only for like 6 hours on a weekend.

Hmm, well this is looking discouraging.
