My Japanese is pretty much around basic level.

It's actually pretty easy to get a job teaching english here and yes, they have to import native english speakers to teach them English.

I know one American girl who went to Korea to teach English. She didn't even know Korean. From what she tells me, a lot of Asian schools and families will hire people just to speak English to them so they can practice.

Same person was in Honduras for a few months doing the same thing. No Spanish required.

How many places have you been? Seems like you are always in a new country.

11/24/2006 10:05:26 AM

Not that many, and nearly all have been in Europe. I've been sent to a lot of places multiple times and gotten lucky enough to go to all of them.

Are you back in the states now or still posted in the south?

I'm back in the US now.

Gives you a new perspective when you're in the 2nd poorest nation in the hemisphere.

^Yeah i can understand that, but judging from some of the pics you posted when you were there, it looks like you got to do some pretty cool stuff.

It's a neat place if you like the beach...Roatan and Utila are an nice vacation spots for their price, especially if you like to dive.

What does it take to obtain a right to work outside the US?

I'm really considering working abroad instead of going to grad school. Heck, I might even consider grad school abroad.
