What is it like to pursue a teaching career in another country?
I am a high school student currently interested in taking up education as a future career. It was a difficult choice to pick this career path because although I always wanted to be a teacher, my father refuses to allow me to take up a low-paying job. I decided to look into teaching outside of the United States because my work could potentially reach out to many more people and have a greater effect in a country where few have educational opportunities. As working abroad may have a more powerful message than working in the States, this could help me succeed in changing my father's mind. This is because although I won't make a lot of money, I will be changing the world, one student at a time. I would like to know how taxing it is financially, physically, mentally, spiritually, etc. to work as a teacher in another country. I plan on working with an international teaching program, like EPIK (English Program In Korea), but am interested in other programs that could put you anywhere in the world. How challenging is it to live and work abroad as a teacher? #career #teaching #student #travel #international #working-abroad #living-abroad #international-career
