I have a BA in English and an MFA in Creative Writing. I do have a massive student loan debt but I think I can work overseas and still make money. True? Not true? Where do I start in the teaching abroad route? I am interested in Italy but open to other areas, too. Any thoughts?

I taught for four years in England and really enjoyed it. They are in desperate need for teachers in some areas, and the pay is pretty good, especially when you consider how strong the pound is. I was able to pay my student loan down quite a bit while I was there. There are several agencies that will find a school for you, or you can look at the TES (Times Educational Supplement) at www.tes.co.uk and apply for jobs directly. The benefit of going with an agency is that they'll usually set up all the work permits and such for you, which can be a headache. One example is: http://www.protocol-education.com/ Hope this helps!
