For a good full time teaching position, pay wise, you might try Taiwan or the Arab Emerites.

If you are not worried about the money, just about anywhere is good, because there mostly isn't a lot of money in English teaching :).

Japan used to be good, but these days a decent full time job over here is becoming a rarity. You could probably still snag a full time job with a scumbag chain eikaiwa, but you could earn more and have a better life just doing private lessons.

If you really aren't worried about money, then you can go and teach on a Pacific Island. They don't pay you, but you can live for free.

Australia and New Zealand are not good, as there are almost no fuilltime jobs and you will most likely end up on a seasonal part-time circuit. Full time TESOL jobs in Australasia don't pay so well as Asia either.

Europe is a beautiful place, but they have plenty of young English speaking ladies to snap up for English classes. Mostly more of a lifestyle than a job.

I don't know about North America, but everyone seems to be rich over there, so that might be a good bet.

I had a friend who taught in South America. He said that while the pay wasn't that great, he could afford to live in a nice house and have a servant. He also told me about being threatened with a knife on the bus and with a gun on another occasion. That was enough to put me off. He married quite a hottie over there, so it isn't without its attractions despite the danger.

I hear from people who have worked there that work in England involves long hours and low pay.

Of course, if you are a career teacher and really work at it, oppotunities will arise, however now is not a great time in the industry. Be aware also, that in some places, like New Zealand, you can be over qualified and they won't give you a job if you are too higher level (they'd have to pay you more, and they don't want that).
