I am an american citizen, I have only the high school (GED) made in USA and the TEFL course made on line.
Do I have any chances to become a teacher in Vietnam?

How should I start?

Thank you.

Hello oliver11,

I hope that other forumers will be able to advise you concerning the procedures to teach English in Vietnam.

Hi Oliver, its gonna be tough, non of the big schools will touch you without a degree at the moment.
There are a fair few language schools around and as long as your prepared to knock on a few doors you should be able to find work.

Agreed. 

I saw your post in the China forum as well.  You're better off looking for work there, IMHO.
