I am moving to costa rica and need some advice about jobs?
Hello, I have received so many different opinions and advice! I am a qualified teacher but do not have an esl or tefl certificate. I recently visited costa rica and fell in love with the country and the culture and am moving there in December. Some people say that anyone with a degree can walk into a school and ask for a job teaching english. Others say I am waisting my time even going there and will not get a job unless I am married to a costa rican! Some people say that teachers only make about 300 dollars a month(so cannot live), others say that I can live quite happily(necessities) but wont be able to save money. I am feeling quite despondent, is there anyone who can lift my hopes? Thanks Colette

The Tefl or Esl is recommeded but not necessary as the standard of education is not very high there,

You have been pretty well informed about the low pay etc.. Can't verify the being married part of getting a job though. I do have a simple best solution for you though and that is to work here in the U.S even extra jobs and buy a home in costa rica and visit in months when school is off. Living is dirt cheap but pay there is worse. Heck you may be able to substitute teach and visit more often.Don't forget to sign up for an airmiles program. Good luck in tackling this dream and don't give up. Someday you'll be able to retire.
You can't really go wrong with teaching. Honestly, in many countries the pay is lower than it should rightly be, but it's a steady, respectable job, usually good hours and although it's emotionally taxing, its also worth it because you touch so many lives.
I'm sure getting around the red tape to become a teacher is not going to be the hardest thing. The biggest issue may be pay. However, if you love the place and want to be a teacher for the right reasons, then why not?
Someone smart once said, "life's too short to limit yourself because you're afraid of not eating." I've tried to live by that philosophy. It can get kinda scary but it's worth it.
Your advice may not be as confusing or contradictory as it seems at first glance. If you want a work permit, you need ane esl or tefl certificate or need to be certified (for international schools). These jobs pay a lot higher. If you just want to come and work as an undocumented worker you can find work (perhaps as easily as they say) but wages will be quite low. Whether you can live with that amount of pay will depend on your lifestyle but you certainly won't save any money.
Your first priority is to learn spanish.
