I finished my online TEFL course today.  It only took me 12 days to do the course, that's 2 more than is the minimum number of days.  I'm pretty excited about that.  I had to write a mini-reseach paper today.  I think I did a superb job.  As soon as I get my certificate, which should take a week or so, I will be able to get my pay raise.
I'm thinking of gettting my Masters of Arts in EFL.  This would allow me to teach at a university and really make quite a bit more money.  It also opens the door to more competitive job markets.  I'm exploring my options.  So far I might do a course through Reading University in Reading, England.  There are good universities in the U.S., but they cost a pretty penny ($20,000 and up per year).  Now is the information gathering stage.
Next I will do a business English course online.  It's always good to keep learning and expanding your training.
