Gap Years and such...

First off, if you're taking a gap year before grad school know that you WILL be explaining yourself to MANY people who think you are being a lazy bum --which, in my case, was true.

My grandmother, mother, aunts, grandaunts and church aunts (jk) have all tried to talk me out of a gap year.  Apparently taking a gap year is the equivalent of getting knocked up, addicted to drugs and throwing away my future... -_-;

If you are brave enough to see it though (or lazy enough) there are a TON of programs out there for you. PAID programs...not that 'pay to volunteer' bull that people still manage to go for.  Got an undergrad degree? Working toward an undergrad degree?  OKAY! Stop working for free!

Someone is willing to pay your (barely) educated behind.

Case in point...
Austrian Ministry of Education

Spanish Ministry of Education

French Ministry of Education 

Korean Ministry of Education**

Korean Ministry of Education***


(UK/France/Spain) PGL

all (except the last) are through the gov and therefore doubly legit.
**requires 2 yrs undergrad, teaching primarily after school see more program differences
*** requires at least a bachelors, teaching during reg. school hours

So I recognize that theres a big difference between a ton of programs and the five that I've posted here.  I'll keep updating this as I find them.

In the mean time, have some ear candy.
