What others jobs abroad could you get besides being a TEFL teacher? (lemmy.ca)

Originally, I was looking into pursuing a TEFL certificate so that I could be able to work abroad and it would put me on the path to a better life than I would have in America. However, after some research, it seems that a being a TEFL doesn't pay well and I'm really unsure if I want to teach. I was wondering if there are any other jobs/careers that allow you to work abroad besides a TEFL?

What kind of skills do you have? If you like children you can get work as a nanny. There are also a lot of woffing jobs available.

I have writing, customer service, and some coding skills. I am currently in a program that deals with finance that I am hoping will open new career paths that could also help me with finding a job abroad.

Have you been wwoofing? I did a little, a long time ago. Good times (mostly).

I looked into and exactly how does that work? In exchange for food and accommodation, I work on a organic farm. Is there any opportunity to earn money elsewhere or the chance to find others jobs in something else while working with WWOOF?
