To be honest, though, it does feel like much longer than that. Well, I've been overseas for quite some time. I am here teaching English as a second language to university students. Although I am on a specific fellowship program, there are plenty of opportunities through universities, non-governmental organizations, religious organizations, etc. who are in need of Native Speakers. In other words, you can go overseas to Asia or Southeast Asia with or without a special program.
Students range from beginners to advanced.
The job is challenging, but very rewarding. If you love public speaking, helping young people, and exploring cultures different from your own, teaching is the thing for you. Just about the only negative is grading lots of homework, but you know it's a good job when that's the one complaint you hear. You don't need a lot of expertise to teach English, too. I've adjusted well since then, however, and now really enjoy my time here.
