It's still a thing, yeah. That's what I do currently. People like to do it as a year-off kinda job before their "real career", so it has a bad reputation in the host countries sometimes due to many unqualified teachers. I got a degreee in Linguistics and a teaching cert so I wouldn't be like those guys. In my second year now and I really enjoy it. The pay isn't amazing, but it's enough to live comfortably (able to pay all bills and save $800-$1000 a month) and I am able to explore Asia cheaply (based in Japan).
There aren't many advancement opportunities though unless you get a masters or doctorate and teach at university level.
this is very cool!

have you been to oppai pub yet?
