Extractions: Volunteering Abroad Travel Abroad Working abroad can prove a very educational and rewarding experience for those looking for adventure. There are many types of overseas work but to simplify, lets break it down into five basic categories: To determine which category your should aim for, you must do a realistic evaluation of your qualifications. For example, if you do not yet have a BA or equivalent degree, you may be limited to working temporary low-skill employment such as being a nanny or working at a resort or working under the table without a visa. Obviously if you have an advanced degree and are fluent in the language of the country you are aiming for, you stand a much better chance of landing a professional job. This is especially true in Asia where many Asian-Americans and Asian-Canadians are finding their fluency in English and an Asian language to be a highly sought-after skill in the business community. As you are planning your international job search, be realistic in your expectations and don't make the mistake of thinking that it will be easier to get a good job overseas than at home - it's not. While it may be pretty easy for anyone with a BA to land a job teaching English in Asia, that doesn't necessarily mean it is a job you will do well at or even enjoy. Remember that you never get something for nothing and thinking you will cash in on a foreign job is not a good strategy for international employment. After all, there is a reason that salaries are higher in certain parts of the world - either the cost of living is higher or the conditions are difficult and justify the "hardship" pay.

Extractions: What types of programs are available? A variety of Teaching programs abound for those individuals interested in bringing their linguistic, communicative and cultural skills and efficiencies abroad. While some programs require formal teaching experience, the majority of Teach Abroad programs do not. Many Teach Abroad programs focus on English Language training. TEFL Programs (Teaching English as a Foreign Langugage) usually involve teaching English to people in their country of origin. TESL Programs (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) typically entails teaching English (in English-speaking countries) to immigrants or to people for whom English is not their native language. As well, there are lots of incredible opportunities, in general, to go abroad and share in educational experiences. Teaching English may not be a specific focus; instead, you might volunteer in a classroom, orphanage or office. Maybe you just got out of school, or maybe you have been out of school for years (or decades!). Either way, when/if you decide to share your abilities and insights through a Teach Abroad program, you can undoubtedly make an impact and touch the lives of many people while abroad.
