Hello, my name is Chad and I am from Canada looking to move to Saigon to become an English teacher. I recently traveled to Vietnam and fell in love with the country so much so that I want to move there and become an English teacher, I've always had a passion for teaching even though my career back home is far from it so I know that the drive and motivation to be a teacher is there. I do plan to get a TEFL certificate.
One of my problems is that I do not have a bachelor's degree so I will not be able to obtain a work permit. What kind of jobs will I be able to find without a work permit? Am I able to find full time work or will I have to pick up multiple part time jobs? Will I be able to find any work at all? Another question I have is - how much does someone in my position make on average? I'm only asking because I need to figure out if ill be able to put some money away and save. Obviously someone who has a degree and a work permit gets paid much better then someone in my position.
Any and all advice will be appreciated. Thanks
