This question (or variants thereof) keeps on popping up. I'm going to keep on recommending you get the book "Getting Out: your guide to leaving America." Ourselves, we opted for Buenos Aires, Argentina. Learning Spanish isn't that easy, especially the flavor of it they have down here, and Argentina has it's own variety of problems, but at least the Congress keeps the President in check here. Buenos Aires is beautiful and I'm enjoying our time here.

Australia just announced that they were going to try and make it easier for tech immigrants to come in.

Just be sure owning guns and/or video games made for people older than 16 doesn't matter to you, since they seem to be unfriendly to both...

If that doesn't appeal, I can't highly enough recommend this book:

http://www.amazon.com/Getting-Out-Leaving-America-Self-reliance/dp/0976082276

It'll give you tons of information about bunches of different countries, and should help you narrow your search.

I would.

I've been thinking about it for a couple years now, actually, well before McCain was in the picture as a nominee. I've really been starting to wake up and realize it's not about this or that politician, or even this or that party. It's about the corporate state we've been building for the last 30 years -- a state that has already sufficiently dumbed down the populous to the point where I'm not sure we can recover.

What can a politician or even a president do when we have a country where the majority of the people have been brainwashed into believing that intellectualism is a bad thing, and that using logic is somehow arrogant?

If anyone else is serious about it, you may want to check out this book:

Check out this book. I bought a copy a while ago and read it cover to cover. It has a lot of good info, breaks down the popular expat countries into basic info and includes expat testimonials. I'm still here because I haven't entirely given up in a positive change for America.

You have two years before college? That is more than enough time to prepare something like this; in fact, you could prepare for a career doing this, if that's really something you're considering.

Essentially, most countries and programs require, at minimum, a Bachelor's degree from an accredited university in an English-speaking country. Depending on where you want to live, how you want to work (i.e. private vs. public education, adult vs. school-age students, etc.), what kind of compensation you want, and the like, there are many different things you should consider, but they almost always land on one thing:

The best way to assure the best possible position teaching English in a foreign country is to be a TEFL-, CELTA- or better-certified teacher.

More developed places in the West, such as Western Europe, require at least a TEFL, possibly even higher. Places in China are so starved for English teachers that a Bachelor's is sometimes all that is needed. But, wherever you go, a TEFL, a CELTA, teaching credentials, or a Master's in EFL will always get you higher pay at a better job.

If you have two years before college (hell, if you have two years before graduation from college), don't worry. I would first decide where in the world you would like to teach. Keep in mind that some places are in enormous demand for English teachers and the required work won't be very difficult, and other places are downright impossible to move to (read: Croatia). Places like Dave's ESL Cafe, EPIK (English Program in Korea), and the Japan Exchange and Teaching Programme are great places to start to look into how teachers are compensated, based on their experience and qualifications, especially in Asia. The Language House, Prague is a great place to earn a TEFL in a foreign country and worth every Euro.

To investigate where in the world you would like to live, I recommend the book Getting Out: Your Guide to Leaving America. It's a bit dramatic and doomsday-ish, but the information is very valuable.

Also, look into Master's programs at universities which you are interested in attending. I've heard of TESL teachers with Master's Degrees working on cruise ships teaching the staff English - that doesn't sound too bad a job in my opinion.

But, to make a long story short (too late), it really depends where in the world you want to do this and for how long you would like to teach English. However, it is totally worth it.

Good luck!
