Older Expats

How late is "later on in life", and how old is an older expat?  Late 60s? Mid 70s? Early 80s?

Please don't say the number in your name is your birth year and you think you're an older person.   I don't want to feel depressed, not when the year is only 3 days old.

I will be 57 in April. And although I don't believe it is old, it certainly poses a problem when trying to find a job abroad.   Hence my post.

Ok, that makes things a bit clearer. So the next question would be, what line of work are you interested in.

I am in the financial/accounting field. Would make sense to look for something in the same line.

You may struggle finding work in those areas. You would need to be able to speak and read Vietnamese and also know how the system works in Viet Nam.  Best job choice would be teaching English.

Teaching is an option but don't I need a teaching degree for that?

You need a degree in any field plus a Tesol or Celta to work legally.

I doubt you will find too many opportunties in your field here in VN.
