$19 Certificate

I think the situation must just be hitting too much to home. I didn't know that there were a lot of fake TEFL's out there, but in ANY field, people can take your job with or without proper certification or training.

I'm in international business and while I haven't seen a fake certificate, I have seen a whole bunch of people get jobs without any multicultural training or any understanding of business protocol in a given country. I have also seen former teachers get hired onto teams of business professionals. They could be taking someone's job who studied business, but I don't bother myself with it. I just go and do my best and if the company likes me, great. And if I don't make my numbers, then I'm gone and someone else is in.. maybe it's a teacher who gave up teaching. (My brother was a music teacher, but now he's taking someone's job in a technical field)

In fact, I'm pretty sure that most professions have their version of someone else taking their job. It sucks, but that's the way life is. AI will be taking ALL of our jobs anyhow within the next 20 years. We just have to do our best and realize that other people who haven't studied our particular profession will be there, and many will get hired. And sometimes they even deserve it.
