Is age a problem in getting a job?
Posted: 22 Jun 2004, 18:10
Hi Auntie
As a prospective teacher of English I have been looking at various schools and CELTA providers. They say that age is not a problem but increasingly I see many job ads with upper age limits.
I am now 59, I know I should be dead but the fact is I am not. I have a degree which I obtained only 5 years ago. I also have a business qualification which I would still like to put to use. Am I being unrealistic in thinking that I can work overseas teaching English?
Many thanks for any advice on this aspect of TEFL.
