TEFL jobs are available across all of China, here are more current teaching positions available this week, and I've listed the specific qualifications in the previous comment(TEFL and sometimes a 4-year degree).

teaching english is a great way to learn about the world, the attached link and screenshot lists the requirements for that job in Spain specifically: native english speaker, that's it.

the best qualification to get is a TEFL certificate, a lifetime accreditation that can be completed in a 1-2 week online course.

If you're interested in general teaching insights regarding TEFL opportunities, I'd suggest the FAQ or previous posts in this community, which explain costs, TEFL, teaching opportunities and available jobs, and if you have any specific questions feel free to ask away.

Heyo, there are thousands of jobs all over China: Beijing, Shanghai, Foshan, Ningbo, Chongqing, everywhere. The requirements are formally a 4-year degree in any subject and a TEFL certificate, and often only a TEFL certificate is required for private tutoring work. No recent trend changes, there used to be thousands of jobs across China and there are still thousands of teaching jobs for native English speakers across China.

Did you have any specific questions?

China removed English as a required subject in all primary schools 3 and a half years ago, but there are thousands of public, private schools, and tutoring services that still teach English, which is a better deal for the teacher because it means smaller classes and higher pay.

Yea, that was good, I hope Guinness confirms that kid's record, but I guess they don't have reliable footage of it yet or it would have been in the doc.

I don't surf but nazare might be a new destination of mine to see the biggest waves in the world.

I'll check out teahupo'o too, thanks

yuuup, that's crazy too.

I'm sure there have been bigger waves ever, by the language I think this is the largest officially recorded to have been surfed.

according to this video there's a kid waiting for his 101 foot wave ride to be recorded by Guinness.

oh, most people still incorrectly use "third world" to mean undeveloped or economically disadvantaged, so for me that's the "traditional" sense of the word while I try to update colloquial usage.

okay, that's still a small amount of the population, but that must have been added to the total to raise the average few pto days for civilians up a bit.

Us military servicemembers, another million-plus people, have a lot of paid time off also, so they must be adding in the anomalous best case scenarios to average out a higher score for the U.S.

Great rundown, thanks for the link too.

I know federal employees get some paid holidays like new year, so maybe the "10" score is reporting best-case scenario federal employee pto benefits rather than the lack of PTO benefits for the wider US population.
