I'm not trying to convert you the Church of Teaching Unchained or anything. Just letting you (and others) know that if you take the job, even as a life experience, that is still a job. I have seen too many people come for the life experience and forget about the life experiences of the kids they're supposed to be positively impacting.

I have already done my Bsc (Hons) and have finished my ACCA (International accounting qualification) so I'm covered there, should I choose to get a Teaching qualification course.
And lol @ Church of Teaching Unchained!
In any case I know who sucky some of my teachers were and how badly it affected my higher studies and many decisions in life. I also appreciate all the really good teachers in my life and how it positively affected me. So if I do become an ALT, I'll be damn sure to do a fine job.
The scary part for me will be gaining trust of the students. I've taught my friends during my Uni days, but they were my friends. There was no ice to be broken, we already knew each other very well. Starting from scratch would be hard.
