I have 2 years experience teaching ESL overseas and a Celta certificate, which has served me well while outside the US. Yet, I would eventually like to come home to get my MA and teach at either a college or private langage school. Problem is, I've hear that the job prospects aren't that great, the pay is poor, and often times there are no benefits. Anybody have any information on this which might help me?
I was actually planning to come home to the US to get my masters, then hopefully teach at the college level or work with adults at a private language school.

your degree may not be equivalent to a masters in the US.. try, www.wes.org they would evaluate your degree and then if they qualify you as havin a degree equivalent to an US masters then u can try to find a job first of all.. but i think with a such degree you can make a minimum of $2000 per month.. depending on which states, and what stage of education you are persuing? high school? higher? .. good luck...
