Becoming an ESL (English as a Second Language) teacher is perhaps the most popular way of seeing the world and

still make some money doing it, especially for young people. Obtaining a certificate (there are several different ones-TEFL, TESOL, and CELTA the most widely accepted) is encouraged and necessary in many parts of the world, but in others, particularly SE Asia and Latin America, having a college degree and being a native English speaker is enough. The type of work varies wildly depending on the area of the world you are teaching in. South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan tend to pay the best, but make sure you do your homework before signing on, as horror stories abound. Teaching ESL in another country, particularly a developing country with low costs of living, typically gives teachers a lot of flexibility and time off to travel around the region they are teaching in. Plus it gives the opportunity to live and work in another culture, all the while putting some money in your pocket. There are people who work their whole lives as ESL teachers, moving to a new place each time their contract is up.
