[quote=CANADA24,344763]So here is my issue everyone. I (24 year old male) as well as my girlfriend (she's 23) have always wanted to teach english overseas and for both of us the time is finally right.

Problem is, I only have a college diploma which is not a 3-4 years degree and my girlfriend was a Major in Art at Uni for 2 years but decided to leave feeling art was more of a hobby than a career. either way we're below the normal qualifications for teaching english as a second language.

We have signed up for a 100 hour TESOL course. and will be done feb 1st.
She has had many years babysittig, and worked at a daycare for a bit as well. I have done some peer tutoring in highschool and of course have babysat kids on occasion as well.

Do you think that our qualifications are enough to land us teaching jobs in China? It doesn't necessarily have to be at the same school as long as they are close to eachother. tho if it was the same school they would save on having to pay for 2 apartments.

I was considering the fact that if only 1 of us got a job the other could find work while there. but i have now read you can't transfer a travel visa to a work visa while you're in China. so that idea is gone.

So mainly what do you think our chances are? Amazing pay isn't important, but at the same time we don't want to worry about living or eating.

If you have any tips, links or anything that would help us that would be much appreciated.
