At The End Of A TEFL Career

I am saddened by news reports that I have been reading lately concerning former TEFL teachers ending up in bad situations. They invested years of their life in teaching and now are left penniless, without a pension and with very little hope for the future. Some have even resorted to suicide. It’s a very sad thing indeed.

It’s easy to say what they should have done to avoid the problems, but should have done is cold solace when you are at the end of a TEFL career. I wish there was something I could say or do, but about all I can come up with is to advise TEFL newbies to take a long hard look at the end of a TEFL career before they start in one.
