You can't legally do any of them here except teacher (if you're qualified)

If you have a degree and a teaching certificate such as a Celta then you stand a chance of being employed by a school. But the salary isn't the best when you start but then again you are here.

Teaching is the simplest way on but you need to have the supporting documents. If you are again a trained and qualified chef with good references then there is a chance someone would hire you but make sure what offer is given comes with full legal sponsorship.
