Well I started
Happier Back Home for all the people who think going abroad is going to solve all their problems.
Actually Thailand is full of foreigners who have come here to try and solve their problems.
The reality is that your life overseas will probably be pretty much the same as it was back home. Mine is near identical, but all that's changed is that I'm 100% self employed now.
As far as jobs go, there are jobs overseas but you need a niche. I saw a programming job here recently. There are very few skilled Thais, and a foreigner could easily have got the job. Unemployment is less than 1% here.
In IT you need a niche and experience of working in that niche.
Always be on the lookout for IDEAS. I saw some cool software when I worked in London. It was a small niche idea - too small for employers. But the following year I lost my job, and spent 10 weeks making my own version of that software to sell online. I ended up selling almost $100,000 worth of it over 10 years.
In English teaching you need to choose your gig carefully. The teachers at my University back in China were having the time of their lives. But next door in the private college I heard the teachers couldn't leave the grounds all day. Another tip is to no get involved in office politics. Go to school, go to your class, then go home.
