Hi,
Today Education Experts UK emailed me an employment contract to teach ESL in Saudi Arabia, but I don't know if I should accept it or not. I believe it is better for me to do an MA in Second Language Education to increase my chances of landing a good ESL teaching job in that part of the world. If you were me, what would you do?
Your input is much appreciated!
Thanks.
Is it better to have an MA to teach ESL in Saudi Arabia?

Depends on if you need a job/money right now (but beware, only 'on site' diplomas are recognized in KSA).

In Saudi Arabia the color of your skin and the country you hail from determines your pay more than education level. For instance, Al Khaleej will pay Americans (USA) more than South Africans or Sudanese. There are also other ways to get paid more.
