Other countries will hire English teachers with just a TEFL/TESOL qualification. If you're an EU citizen you can teach English in most Europen countries without a degree, just a TEFL/TESOL qualification.
In some parts of the world (particularly South East Asia and Central America) you will find schools that will take on teachers without any qualifications; however there are risks associated with these positions. It’s unlikely the TEFL job is legal, therefore you will have no rights and risk deportation. Also, the pay is usually lower.
