- Note: One caveat: If you are an American citizen many degrees like Doctors, lawyers, Physician's assistant and possibly nurses aren't accepted back here in the U.S. So, when you go to another country to college it is important to remember this, that this degree (if technical) may not translate back to a job here in the U.S. However, if you want to teach English anywhere on earth likely you could do this with a Bachelor's degree in anything. However, if you want to teach here in the U.S. likely you would need either a CBest or a teaching certificate from an American college or university. Three of the countries that have been good for teaching English as a second language (but this could also change) are South Korea, Japan, or Thailand. However, you would be away from all your friends and relatives there. And working for the government is better than working for a private school because you are more likely to get paid regularly too.(regarding teaching in countries other than the U.S.)

7 countries where college is free
Looking to escape the skyrocketing cost of higher education? If you're willing to leave the U.S., options abound
This article originally appeared on AlterNet.The cost of college tuition has skyrocketed, with huge increases over the past five years as college aid has been reduced by state budgets. In Arizona, for example, this increase in tuition has been 77 percent.
Two-thirds of American college students graduate with college debt, and that debt now tops $1.2 trillion. By every indication, college is now more expensive than it has ever been, out of reach of not only poor Americans, but even middle class ones. While various reforms made in the past few years may have helped slow the growth of college costs, they continue to outpace Americans’ ability to pay.
Although this is happening in the world’s richest country, there are many places abroad where college is virtually free. The Washington Post’s Rick Noack points out seven places where Americans can study for free or at very low cost – and in English! Students just have to be willing to leave the country:
1. Brazil: Brazil’s universities charge registration fees, Noack notes, but they do not require regular tuition. Many of them also offer courses in English.
2. Germany: Germany has 900 programs in English, and is eager to attract foreign students to tuition-free universities due to the country’s shortage of skilled workers.
3. Finland: Finland doesn’t have tuition fees but the government does warn foreigners that they have to cover living expenses. Imagine going to college and only worrying about room and board.
