Why I Chose Money for The Best TEFL Jobs

Although the picture on the right doesn't show money as a part of job satisfaction, money (there is self confidence, a challenging attitude, variety, self awareness, knowing your options, a balanced lifestyle, and a purpose) and while it's true that there's more to life than money, most of us are concerned about money.
The employers on the Best TEFL Jobs in the World List were chosen because of salary and benefits. Some people might not have to worry about money for a bit and a few lucky people might not have to worry about money at all, but for most of us, it's a concern. Even if you don't have to worry about money, it's nice to be paid a good salary and not work for a pittance.
All the employers listed are reputable and legit. That is to say, they will get you a proper working visa, pay you on time and what you've been promised, they won't farm you out to other schools, they won't fire you unjustly, and they keep their promises. If you know of any employer listed that is not repuable or legit, please let me know (naturegirl321@yahoo.com) and I will remove them from the list.

Some people will say that TEFL jobs are going down the tubes. And while it's true that the salaries haven't gone up (the 250,000 that you'll get in Japan or the 2.2 mil that you'll get in Korea now is about the same as what you'd get before) at all in the past 10-15 years even though prices have gone up.
However, there are still well-paying jobs with great benefits out there. While they traditionally are in Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Qatar, Saudi, and UAE you can find good paying jobs in many countries around the world.
