@TGB
I teach English abroad (and yesterday discovered I work alongside another b3tan)

@LVP - well, my TEFL/CELTA was quite cheap, less than 300, and I did it online (www.i-to-i.com if you're interested) but, at least here, most companies prefer attendance courses, which are damn expensive. Did I not also read you were considering a Masters in T&I? There's plenty of work in that field - and you set your own rates. My girlfriend studied T&I, and now runs a company, so if you want something more sure (less hours, but generally better money) go for the T&I debt - but find one of the universities which offer official T&I Masters - there's only a few. I'll find the list later and pass it on if you like
