👨‍🎓 👩‍🎓 Whoever said that teaching abroad only means living in sub par abodes for a little money is wrong. Depending on your experience and degrees, teaching abroad is a fantastic opportunity. Savvy educators earn more than enough to pay off student debts any maybe have something left over to go traveling afterwards. 

Of course, your English teaching salary should always be balanced with the cost of living in the country you’re planning to be based in. For instance, you may get paid big bucks in UAE (one of the highest paying countries to teach English), but you’ll also spend more than a pretty penny to live there.

👨‍🎓 👩‍🎓 Another thing many teachers who want to work abroad may overlook are additional drawbacks of being employed in a foreign country. The language and cultural learning curve come at a price as well. So sometimes, the highest paying English teaching jobs can cause a case of home sickness which will be paid for with your mental health until you actually get acclimated to the nuances. This can take a couple of years for many educators.

Is this making sense?
