So, as I prepare to graduate with my masters degree in Criminal Justice, I find myself in an awkward position. What I really want to do is teach CJ at the college level, but I'm not sure if I want to get my PhD, mostly because I don't want to take all the stats classes that it would require.

Therefore, I know I need to get some teaching experience, and I was thinking about getting that experience by doing ESL. The pay seems decent, and the cultural experience/teaching experience would be a great thing to have.

I suppose my question becomes, has anyone done it, or know anyone that has? What are the things I should do, I should avoid, etc. Really I would just like to open up a dialogue about ESL, so please, bombard this thread with all the ESL info you want to!
