There is a first time for everything!

[Moebius]

Hello to everyone! This is my very first post on the first forum I've joined, so i hope i do everything correctly.

First off i would like to say how great this forum is; the answers I've been seeking for the last couple of days, i found within a couple minutes by reading all the great advice given in your discussions.
Okay, so why am i here? I'm twenty three and have already reached the peak in my current profession. All my life i have dreamed of being involved in bigger things, somehow making the world better. When it came to making a career decision at the tender age of sixteen i had no idea of what it was i wanted to do.

Long story short, went to uni for a couple years, quit and ended up doing a job that pays the bills and holding off my dreams for another time.

Now i think ive finally found my calling in life! Gee i hope that doesnt sound too corny! lol.
Anyway, coming from the country, i am a cautious person by nature. So thinking i would rely on only a certificate to get my a job as a teacher comes across to me as strange, and im not ashamed to say a little scarey too. But then reading all your posts about the courses you think are the best, how you all love the work that you're doing has really inspired me to see this through.

So thankyou .
I'd really love to talk to anyone, about anything. So hope to hear from you soon.

Hello Moebius and welcome to the community.

Glad to hear you have found these forums very useful. Yeh, a uni degree is often needed by visa offices in order to get your work permit issued.

Take care and all the best with things.

Good onya Moebius, welcome aboard and keep the dream. As for the degree, and as gfell says, usually they're required. Some places in China still "prefer" but don't require them, look at jobs that allow for your situation.
Best of luck!
