The English teaching is still absolutely viable. Vietnam is a great spot for it right now, met several folks making $20-30 an hour in Hanoi without any qualifications and Hanoi is stupid cheap so you can save most of that. If you have qualifications you can make a fair bit more, there is actually genuine careers to be had in it if you really wanted to that do pay well, especially if you have some form of business degree/background and can get into the business English teaching area.
$10/hour in HCMC is viable, more than that and I would say they are lying.
I've not met anyone teaching English out here that is making more than they spend.
It's a fun life with plenty of opportunity for easy sex with great looking women.
You just gotta hope you die while you're young.
Biggest danger, the sex in SEA is gonna kill any desire you have to ever work in the west again.
Completely false - why are you lying about wages?
VUS, ILA, EMG, and Apollo (the 4 biggest education providers) all start wages at 430,000vnd per hour (around 18 dollars) and all you need is to be a native speaker, a degree, a tefl, and a halfway presentable appearance.
With a years experience you can easily go up to 21 dollars an hour.
Most people who have been here over 3 years make around 25 dollars an hour for the big companies.
