There is an article on this site about a person who transitioned from English teaching into a non-teaching job. He gave a lot of tips on finding a job and wrote about his experience. Useful read.

The biggest problem you are going to have is dealing with the visa...

Realistically? Not in a long while. In numerous reports, surveys and guesstimates, the number of people learning English hovers around 300 million.

Let's say the average class is around 30 students, including all forms of schools private and public and each teacher takes 3 classes, you...

My bro came to visit me in China, and we went for a month-long road trip in Sichuan. We had a blast. My parents also came, touring Yunnan with a small group. They also had a great time.

Answer of the Day is determined by one of the administrators. It has nothing to do with the number of thumbs up.

Constructive answers that are neutral or positive in tone are more likely to get Answer of the Day. Answers that are critical tend not to, though this hasn't always been the case (administration has changed a few times I think).

Actually, I think your question is quite normal.  It spawns from the memory of the excitng life you once had as a single person.  I've got news for you.  EVERYONE who's married feels the same at least once.  It doesn't matter if you married the most gorgeous, sane, intelligent woman alive.  There comes a point where, after smelling her farts and bad breath, you start...

Rabbit in spicy oil in take away plastic bowl (nibble food). Spoon won't do it as there's too much oil/messy, fork won't do it as there's bone and you linger for too long trying to score...so chopstick is the only thing to do the job effectively and efficiently, the best thing for the job.
