[I'm With Stupid]

I know I need to do a CELTA first. I was just asking what the usual career plan is after that, since CELTA seems to be as much for people who want to travel as for people genuinely interested in starting a career (our university offered it included in the cost of a degree course). I have checked it out a bit more since posting, and it seems that MA is technically above a DELTA, although from a practical teaching POV, the DELTA seems to be the highest. Ah well, this won't be for a while yet, I'm just looking into my options.

The only thing that worries me is the pay. I'm not going into this sort of work for the pay, but when you're working in a country that's paying less than you could get as a waiter back home, it's quite hard to save up to do any extra qualifications. And even if you get the qualifications, the difference in pay would presumably not exactly be enough to make it worthwhile in all but the richest countries? It just seems really difficult to get to a stage where you'd be earning anything equivalent to a passable salary in the UK, which is fine until you have to pay for anything at home (like flights or courses).

ETA: Just been researching it further, and it seems that Thailand, which was my initial choice, offers unusually low wages for the region, so I'm currently looking to Vietnam, where you're guaranteed at least $10 an hour, and they still offer the CELTA course for the same price as Thailand.
