Hello. My name is T. I saw your website a few weeks ago and it looks real awsome. Anyway I noticed that you said on your site that you can legally teach english in Taiwan on a student visa. Do you need to go to school for a certain amount of time? Also, one guy told me that teachers who go on the regular 60 day tourist visa (teachers with no degree) usually pick up a Taipei Times news paper and look for teaching jobs there. Which other ways do teachers use to find work? Is it really that easy to find a job with no university degree? And if so, how do they avoid getting caught? Do the cops only raid certain schools? Well anyway I hope you can answer my questions. thanks.
And this one too:
Hi my name is O_____
I from Quebec in Canada, .. here we have a different educational system, for us after the high-school it is the College where most of the students gets their diploma and then go for works... Just 20 % OF THOSE STUDENT GET TO UNIVERSITY, so for most of us, we have the professionnal or (collegial) diploma!!
So, for me , I'm a travel agent since 3 years but the idea to teach english and make money is very interesting.!! Do you think that I can be a foreigner and teaching english or french even if I don't have a University Diploma !?????
Bad English seems to be typical of such letters, but most typical is the idea of making money without a degree. Another typical marker is that they ask me questions already answered on my Taiwan website. Indeed, I recently upgraded my Index page so that there is a pointer right at the top to the page for people attempting to come here without degrees that addresses this question: Can I Teach Illegally in Taiwan?
Think they'll pay attention? Naw.
At one time communities would seek counsel from the elders on matters of import. More experience usually translated into lessons learned. Having survived my share of crises, I am still around to share a thought or two. The main lesson is to never stop learning. Reading is good as is seeking other points of view and new ideas like visiting your blog. Finding what is ultimately important leads one to appreciate actuality, efficiency and mindfulness. Helping others to see some of the forest through the trees is another. synergy
