kmossman Posted January 16, 2017 at 05:39 AM Report Posted January 16, 2017 at 05:39 AM A Masters degree helps with pay and acceptance, though few asked for a masters degree in TESOL licensed teachers are in demand and have a significantly higher salary why would you teach at an university? the teaching hours seem to be getting extended but the pay remains miserable. Some will farm you out to grade schools - you don't see any increase in salary. Students usually don't care. Quote
