I taught in china as a maths teacher for 3 years and I have to say it was very rewarding but I meant a lot of ESL teachers and they had shit jobs.

I think it is a function that it is very low qualified , all you need is English as a first language and a cert you can get on the job.

So the market is flooded lots of students looking to travel asia for a few years do it.

For any qualified teachers reading this I can recommend teaching in the far east once you contact a few teachers already working in the school and get the low down. During a interview ask for contact details of current teachers and Skype them. If school refuses go elsewhere.

You can get a very high wage if you are a qualified teacher.

P.S there are never enough board markers
