Would you teach English in Spain or France for a few years?

Question

I'm thinking of applying to a program in Spain. It wouldn't pay that much. What region should I choose? I'm thinking that with the economy about to go down the tubes that maybe this'll be a better experience than looking for a job. I'd like to be in Europe for a few years teaching but should I consider the salary I would lose if I had a normal job in the US or should I just go for it. I'm 23 with and about to graduate with an economics degree.

Answer 1

go for it. you only live once.

Answer 2

Sound like a fun adventure. Go for it. s***w the job in the USA. USA jobs don't pay that well anyway. Think of the experience and fun you'll have doing such a cool thing in a foreign country. No entry level job in the USA can replace that. Could lead to other things you've never imagined!!!

Answer 3

I would do it in a flash!  I love teaching and I would embrace the opportunity to immerse myself in Spanish or French culture.  

If you have a choice, consider Barcelona or Asturias in Spain, and, in France, Provence.  But don't insist; the region really is not all that important.

Answer 4

Sounds cool.

You should try the andalusian region.

Answer 5

You should do it while you are young. Both countries have such a rich culture, and the experience you would gain would look great for future jobs.
