Wondering how can I see the world? I am 29 college educated and looking for a job. I have not had much luck at all since I lost my teaching job. Anyway, I was just sitting here wondering what profession I could go into that would allow me to see the world. I have nothing that ties me down at all. I am not married and I have no kids and I don't want any. I want to see the world while I am still young. I want to make enough money to live comfortably off of. You know afford a decent place to stay, food and a car. I want to be able to pay my bills and have a little extra to do what I please. I want to help people. I want to go to different countries experience new places and things. I do not mind leaving my friends and family behind. I have thought about the peace core but it seems like it may be kind of hard to get in. I also would love to go to Brazil to teach English. Or, I would love to move to an island and start a life there. My family thinks I have issues because I do not desire to get married, have kids, buy an huge house and drive a luxury car. You know.. the American dream. I love my country hell, I served it. I just don't have the desires that so many people my age have. So give me any ideas that you may have that would be a good fit for me?

Many times The company will allow you to travel as a Tourist guide when you work as a travel coordinator but if you become an international sales agent or even a ATP pilot you might be forced to do it... 2 : As I started reading this I thought peace corps. I'm sure they need many people every year. If not them, then why not another organization? Also, I hear good things about teaching English in other countries. This applies money wise and experience wise. As a start, can you do anything in your own community? Network. /williesix 3 : Teaching English as a Foreign Language? Pretty straightforward to get into and there are plenty of jobs there. You can stay in one country for a year and then either move on or stay longer. It's a brilliant way to see the world and I've been doing it for 20 years or so in half a dozen different countries. 4 : Well! If you want to teach English in Brazil, you can just teach it in Language Schools, but the salary is not that good. Some of them require Cambridge's FCE or superior. If you want to teach in a regular school, you have to have an undergraduation degree in English, or Portuguese-English, or Classic Language-English, or Modern Language-English major, in a Brazilian university, authorized by Brazilian Ministry of Education and Culture (MEC). To teach English in a university, you'll have to have an undergraduation degree in one of the majors I stated above and, at least, a mastership (Stricto Sensu) authorized br MEC as well. It's not that easy, but it's not that difficult as well. Fight for your dreams! If I were you, I'd study hard in your country in one of the majors I put above and when you went to Brazil, you'd just have to specialize in 2 or 3 years and you could teach in a university, earning a good salary. I hope I've helped you! |
