Will teaching English abroad help me to get tenure at the community college level?
My ultimate goal is to get tenure at the community college level. I will have my BA in English by the end of July this year. My goal has always been since I first graduated high school at the age of 17 to get my BA in English and teach abroad. With the information that is given to me of whether it will help me or not in my pursuit to a tenure professor regardless, I'm still going for the experience. My main destinations are S. Korea, China, and Japan. I would like to teach abroad for a maximum of two years for now and then come back to the United States and complete my Masters in English with a concentration in composition and rhetoric. Another reason why I would like to teach abroad at least in South Korea is because I would like to pay off much of my undergraduate student loans and save for grad school. Thank you everyone for your answers.

You need a masters to be considered for tenure then you need several years of teaching at that college. At the college I work for it is five years minimum. It may help you a little in getting your first position. I am not sure it will help on tenure. Understanding the dynamics of that schools student body is more important. However, if you learn a skill about reaching a student while teaching abroad and can use that in your portfolio it might have some good.
