Default What's the Best Country to Teach English In?

When we say we want to move to a certain country, the first question that comes into the listener's mind will be, why. Why not this place, why not that place? It helps us loads when we take some time to sit down and ask ourselves what exactly we're looking for in a place. The reason why we want to move away from home for a bit because our destination supposedly has what we've been dreaming of. Be it culture, language, delicacies, people, entertainment, weather, convenience and even work itself that's got you moving.

List down all you can think of what you expect from your destination. If you have more than one place (teaching English abroad) in mind and can't make up your mind, compare these points below and narrow it down:

Top Countries for Earning Money

If you're looking to save you should head towards Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, or the Middle East. English teaching jobs in Korea and Taiwan are also easy for newbies to get a good paying job with great benefits.

Hong Kong may be a more difficult market to get into. The NET (Native English Teacher) Scheme is the best, money-wise, but you will need experience and a background in teaching.

Lastly is English teaching jobs in the Middle East, where salaries can range from 30 to 60K USD a year. Saudi Arabia is at the top as far as money's concerned. However, you will need experience and a MA degree just to get your foot in the door. Also, keep in mind that life in the Middle East may not be as foreign friendly as other countries. Some limitations that you might encounter are: needing special permission to leave the country, alcohol limitations, and little interaction with the locals.
