Hi Savannah 👋🏻...
If your goal is to travel the world, both paths can get you there, but they open different kinds of doors.
Teaching English abroad is the fastest and most direct way to work in different countries. It’s flexible, the demand is high, and many schools help with visas, housing, and relocation. You could spend a year in Korea, then Japan, then Spain, and keep moving as you want. It’s one of the easiest careers to take anywhere.
Anthropology or sociology can lead to travel too, but in a different style. Instead of bouncing from country to country every year, you’d travel through research projects, fieldwork, NGOs, community work, or international organizations. It’s meaningful, but usually requires more schooling and the travel depends on grants or assignments, not constant movement.
So the simplest way to think about it:
• If you want frequent travel, new countries every year, and an easy global job path, teaching English is the more practical choice.
• If you want deeper cultural work, research, humanitarian projects, and long-term impact, anthropology/sociology can take you abroad, just in a slower, more structured way.
Both can show you the world. The question is whether you want fast mobility or deep immersion.
