Pros

You will be challenged. You will meet people you'll love forever and people you'll wonder how and why they decided to spend a year abroad. You will learn how to teach children, how to communicate without language, how to communicate in foreign languages. You will be a better person by the end.

Cons

A lot of ETAs underestimate the required workload. This is a 9-to-5 teaching position at its core. If these folks are in your cohort it can make collaborative tasks difficult. 99.9% of Fulbrighters are the coolest, sweetest people you've ever met. 0.01% are social climbers that have no respect for their host country or the culture they are interacting with, and are only here to get the Fulbright name on their resume.

Pros

Extremely memorable, fun and educational experience Lifelong friends Unparalleled travel Low working hours with lots of vacation Taiwan is an incredible place

Cons

Hard to save money for returning to the US with the stipend amount Decentralized experience between schools- thus it's very hard to predict roles at each school (some ETAs solo teaching every class, some standing in the back and contributing nothing every day) Not a lot of solutions from admin for teachers having trouble with their students and classroom management, which is a fairly predictable problem that comes up every year No language requirement so a lot of ETAs show up knowing nothing about the culture or language, relying on others who do to get around
