Kaytee it is so hard to find work here unless you are Turkish. The TEFL course is your best bet. The government make it so hard to get a work permit even if your employer does all the required paper work and most won't. I understand it is to protect their own and I have to say the British government could take a leaf out their books.But to get back on track, tourism and teaching seem to be all you can do really. You can open a limited company, we have two, but we still covered our backs with work permits and it took months. E mail me if you want help or more info.
