Teaching english the summer between grad and undergrad.

AI Thread Summary
Teaching English abroad during the summer before starting a PhD program in engineering is viewed as a beneficial opportunity for relaxation and income. It allows for travel and cultural experiences while earning money, especially since this individual will have limited free time once their doctoral studies begin. Many participants in the discussion highlight that temp agencies can facilitate teaching positions overseas, typically requiring only a bachelor's degree. This option is seen as a practical way to utilize the summer effectively before committing to a rigorous academic schedule.

Hey guys was wondering what you thought about teaching english the summer between graduate and undergraduate. I've been accepted to a PhD program in engineering for fall 2014. However I don't know what to do with my summer. I was thinking that spending my time traveling teaching English might be a good way to relax but still make money over the summer. This is going to be the last time I have 8 weeks of free time for the next 6 years. What do you guys think about this?

What do you mean, as a private tutor?
 
I mean through one of those temp agencies that hook you up with a teaching gig in a school overseas. It sounds like a good way to see the world. They usually take anyone with a bachelors degree.
