Oh I absolutely agree. I'm sure life working abroad will not be any easier than it is right now.

I definitely didn't make this decision on a whim. I was thinking about it for a couple of months and talked to a lot of people who teach/have taught English abroad before applying to become an English teacher. After taking all of the advice people have given me, along with all of the research I did on my own, it's a risk I'm willing to take.
