Originally, I was looking into pursuing a TEFL certificate so that I could be able to work abroad and it would put me on the path to a better life than I would have in America. However, after some research, it seems that a being a TEFL doesn't pay well and I'm really unsure if I want to teach. I was wondering if there are any other jobs/careers that allow you to work abroad besides a TEFL?

I was thinking about going back to school, but I am still pretty drained going through the first time. I know that many countries have a list of careers or skills that they are looking for and some of the skills I could qualify for, but then it goes back to finding a job and it's just really frustrating. However, that could be my best bet, so I'll look into it again.
