So I did quite a bit of research into going abroad to teach English. This was supposed to be a backup to my backup plan, but now seeming like it's my only plan. I thought I would be able to patch some holes in my ability and start applying for jobs. Well I hit that deadline a month and a half ago, and had to force myself…
If I were just starting out with a mediocre folio and can travel abroad, I'd relocate to where the outsourcing studios are or where the satellite studios are of brand name fx houses. You won't believe the low the entry barrier for these places. And since they're busy with big contracts from the game corps you'll ramp up…

that's exactly the problem. Given that VN is much cheaper than China that won't be a lot. You'll return home poor. Maybe you make 400 usd a month, but I heard of people who make less. As a teacher, if you hire on with a university, you'll get a room and food for free though and a legit work permit and you get some cash…
