Hey Prloko, glad to have a question I can answer in this thread. Teaching english in other countries won't make you rich, especially if you're doing it in Latin America, or Western Europe. Yet, in much of Asia you could easily bank $1,000 a month working modest hours and living a good life.
It's not something to get into merely for money, but it leaves you some money for saving each month. It's an OK gig for an older person, but it's an excellent job for a young hustler. Work 20-25 hours a week (perhaps 5-10 hours more commuting, depending on the job), have the opportunity to save money each month, experience life in another country/countries, and still have lots of mental energy for side hustles.
