My partner does TEFL-teaching which does require a degree of some kind. I work as a per-hour contractor for the company that I was a W-2 employee for back in the states. I’m losing that gig in a month though, because they don’t trust my network from China. I might have to go the TEFL route too.
Definitely do not go to Fremont Brewing. It’s co-owned by Sara Nelson who is the absolute worst of Seattle’s many, many fauxgressive NIMBYs. She won her whole campaign on villainizing homeless people, and she continues to terrorize them from office.
