Ever heard of any of the big 3 grads going on to teach English in a foreign country?

As I said above (and another person said), you cannot compare dollars to dollars without looking at cost of living and other benefits. 24k/yr where you get to keep almost all of it is far better than 35k/yr where the government takes most of it. Plus no housing costs, food is cheaper, etc.

The take-home pay is great, hours are short (a class hour is really 50 minutes, so you're really only working 5 hours/day, but you're at work for 6hrs/day), benefits are even better than working at some restaurant, and YOU GET TO LEAVE THE US and experience something new, broaden your view of the world, and maybe even better yourself.

So true! The only thing that seemed to be pretty pricey was the whole food bit. One doesn't really need to eat out everyday right?
