There's no choice for 'fat ass'(I come from a family of 'hippy' ladies), so I'll have to stick with my BS degree, TESOL and 8 years experience in-country.

After a few years, it becomes as much about as any kudos attached to the jobs you've had as it is about your qualifications. Another good reason to avoid crappy jobs.

Degree in Englesh Litracha.
Prep. Cert. TEFLA, an equivalent of the CELTA dating back to the time of snuff and astrolabes.
