TEFL opportunities without a degree

[Personherebb9]

Hi everyone, it's been a while since I've last posted on here.

I'm considering going overseas already while I finish my degree. The last few months in South Africa has been... rough to say the least. With the rumours of South Africa possibly giving Russia weapons, our never-ending struggle with loadshedding and even now our economy that has been falling to (for lack of better words) shit. 

I've already done a few TEFL courses and have 3 years (currently my 4th) of private teaching experience. 

I'm still busy with my degree, but considering the current circumstances of my country, I think it would be better if I leave as soon as I possibly can.

I was thinking of teaching in Thailand, but really at this point I'd take any opportunity I could get.

If any of you guys know of a place/website/program that you could recommend to me that would be great. I know this isn't really the right place to ask, but I don't even know where to start looking.

Unfortunately, there are few countries that accept TEFL teachers who don't have a degree. Mostly in SEA. I think that there might be a couple in South America? Not sure.

Reddit's a good place to start: https://www.reddit.com/r/TEFL/wiki/teflwithoutadegree

Are you an Afrikaner?
Are you open to getting your degree in education or any other subject that interests you?
Do you want to leave SA and emigrate to a new country ?

@Personherebb9, I would wait until you get your degree first if at all possible, you'll reap better benefits, pay, etc when you do get the degree and apply for educational positions in any country you're interested in. Say for example, you may want to teach in the middle of no where in SEA, specifically Thailand, it's a dime a dozen for teachers and very competitive even for the entry-level positions, with the degree in hand you'll be a step up above some of the applicants you're up against for each position...
