Ecuador is not quite where you think it is. Check a map. If you are willing to work in all those countries, you should get something.

If you listened to all these people, you'd never do anything in life.

I can't believe that, in 2011, someone asked you if you were of the 'Adam and Adam persuasion'. It almost seems too comical to be true. Your anecdote is enough to make me steer clear of the organisation.

Didn't want to start a new thread, so bumped this one.

I have been teaching ESL for around 10 years. I have decided to enrol in Uni this year for a PGDE. They assessed my undergraduate degree and found me eligible to teach Spanish, English and ESL. However, I can only choose two subject areas. To do three would take a further 3-6 months. I already have 1 year's post-grad training in ESL, but can only teach adults.

I have looked at job vacancies on TES and so on and English seems to have far more vacancies advertised. I was not a literature, but a linguistics major. I have done some literature subjects, but am by no means on par with someone who has done a literature degree.

I would like to know your opinions on which subject I should choose. If I can only choose two, which combination of Spanish/ESL/English would make me more employable?
