After years of work, want, putting it off, and just being a lazy piece of shit, I finally started submitting applications to teach English overseas. I am applying in Korea and hopefully Japan. If I get hired some of you muthafackos are going to have to come and visit me!  

That’s great! Hopefully this is something you enjoy doing instead of just something that just pays well. I teach at programming conferences because it is something I completely enjoy. Programming is my job and my hobby. There is no better career choice than one where the work is what you love to do.

If you love to teach, the real money is in private tutoring for English overseas. Get your experience and foot in the door, then expand your market. There is also a market for complete immersion – not only teaching the language but also the entire culture and history of countries that speak that language. So much room to expand from the humble starting point of just teaching English. It is a career that, at this point, has a very soft ceiling.

… and over apply! Don’t limit yourself to just a few places. Apply everywhere. Even at places you may not think you will get accepted. I would suggest corresponding with HR departments at the various places before applying. It is always better when they recognize your name already when they are reviewing applications.

… and good luck!

If you get busted with tree over there Pigg ilI’ come and rescue you

Wrong. To reiterate, according to High Times “…Less than a gram of pot can get you five years with hard labor…” in parts of Asia:

Just cuz ur married to Mary Jane doesn’t mean the rest of the world recognizes your domestic partnership equally. Thought Pigg should know rather than end up breaking rocks at the base of an active volcano without knowing relevant facts about global weed laws. For further information about “Japan’s draconian marijuana laws” and how “laws against marijuana in South Korea, China and other East Asian countries are even stricter” here’s a recent Japan Today article:

uh huh.  

to reiterate:
