Hello,

I am about to graduate in a couple weeks, Bachelors in Business Administration -- Concentrations in Finance and International Business.

Will then be traveling to Europe for 2 months, back to U.S. for a month then South America for 1 months... So after that I was thinking maybe I could get a job teaching English in another country... I absolutely loved Vietnam and was thinking that in-particular as securing a job there would be easier and I think I would love it, but I only visited shortly.

I have been looking into the Language Corp's, there are fee's involved but they do secure you a job and help with visa's and all that which seems like a pretty good deal, but they do not pay for your ticket. It is expensive, but if it makes my experience teaching that much better I do not mind that. I do not know a ton about other programs either so I wanted to get people's take on what they think. I speak english only really, and am not a teacher or graduating with teaching experience, except I taught snowboarding in high school.

I was particularly interested in asia because I think there is a lot of business opportunities there, and as well as teaching I would like to get involved with some entrepreneurial actives if possible.

Just thought I would see if anyone had anything to say,

Thanks for your time!

The very least you will have to do is get a TEFL qualification, there are plenty of courses in Dublin. Teaching English is quite structured and you may not enjoy the experience if you try winging it with no training. Other than that it is a good way to travel and earn a little money as well.
