Master's or PhD in Linguistics/Education/English

[Mister Linguist]

Not a program request I've seen on here. Have you checked the sister forum? They focus much more on grad programs. Linguistics might be a tough thing to find online. Good luck in your search!

Hi! I haven't, what is the name / link of the sister forum?

I'm a 24 year old English teacher from Florida who works online and travels. My goal is to become a university professor in Mexico. For this of course, I'd need a graduate-level degree. I was thinking of doing a master's at UCF Online in Educational Leadership but a friend told me about this site.

I want to know if anyone here knows about a cheap (under 15k) Master's or PhD degree in Linguistics, Education (Secondary Education or above), or English that i can achieve online while living abroad. 

All help is appreciated! Thanks!

I noticed that you live in Mexico. I do too.

I don't know how much experience that you have with the culture, but you may want to consider your aspirations of being a university professor in Mexico. Nearly all teaching jobs in Mexico pay very low in comparison to the USA. If you're lucky, you can earn the equivalent to $15 per hour at one of the private universities, which is probably the maximum for a professor.

Overall, most younger Mexican students (i.e. Generation Y + Z) do not value education like students from other parts of the world (e.g. Middle East and Asia). Many of them cannot / will not pay attention because they refuse to turn off their mobile device during class. Unfortunately, you'll be repeating instructions constantly and it'll become more frustrating gradually over time.  

As an American (or anyone from the Western world), their abnormal politeness and flattery will stroke your ego initially, but you recognize that it comes at an emotionally draining cost when you are teaching.

If you still want to become a university professor in Mexico, I'll suggest teaching only graduate students. Students at that level will likely take their education more seriously.

You said that you're 24. Perhaps, you might want to start with teaching English there first before you commit to spending thousands of dollars on a graduate degree.

Hello Kal Di! Thanks for your comments, I appreciate them. I am Mexican myself, and I've taught there for years and am fully aware of the drawbacks in teaching in Mexico. It is however, my lifelong dream and objective to come back to my country and to teach there
