 | Realistically speaking Hello! I am a 25 yo Romanian native. I have a BA in English Language and Literature, a MA in British Literature and I am currently PhDing in the same subject. I have been considering re-entering the teaching profession (I have been an English teacher for half a year, then I went on to working as a linguist), and I have considered getting a CELTA this summer. But, realistically speaking what chances does a non native speaker of English stand when it comes to getting a job? Are those “kiss goodbye” money? For an Eastern European, that’s quite a sum!

 | Re: Realistically speaking No matter what your qualifications, a native English speaker with a university degree will always hold the upper hand to non-native English speakers. Try searching the forums as this question has been asked so many times already. Try teaching in China. I do know of a Swiss girl here in Japan teaching English and she has been doing so for quite a few years. The way she got her visa was getting a company to sponsor her as a translator. Good luck.
