<prompt> Human: Im 26 years old. A college drop out no official degree. Ive had a number of failed ventures into the tech world that have lead me to moving back in with my parents and a compounding level of depression. Relatively low-debt to income ratio 25k income vs 4k in cc debt and low expenses.Ive recently discovered some of the hype surrounding teaching English abroad and it seems like a lot of people find it as a decent living while retooling their skillset or reconfiguring their career. Is this a viable option for someone like me? Currently I live in an area as far removed from my field of work as is possible. Im working at a farming feed store and I feel sick just thinking about the small talk I have to pretend to care about. Ive accepted that my forays into tech have failed and arent worth pursuing. Im just looking for something that will pay decently, give some interesting life experiences, and give me some breathing room to recalibrate myself in a way that doesnt feel like a soul killing death march on a day to day basis.  <response>: As someone who has lived outside of the US for many years, I can tell you that there is a glut of young expats trying to get English teaching jobs. This wasnt always so. Nowadays, to be competitive, you need at least a short course teaching certificate or recommendations. If you go to a populardesirable international location without a solid employment offer, you might find yourself scrambling financially.
