Answer 1

Sorry but there are only two ways a person can teach English at any U.S. university, you have to have a degree OR be a well known published author/poet.

Answer 2

no you need adegree

Answer 3

There aren't that many EFL jobs in South America (compared to Asia and Europe anyway) and it's rare to see a job advertised in Colombia. You could ask around the language schools and you might get lucky but most language schools would want a CELTA certificate at least and a lot of places in South America would want a degree as well. It's worth asking though. With your family links and knowledge of Spanish, it's possible you could get a job.

Answer 4

Its not what you know in the world anymore is who you know that counts

Answer 5
