I have a BA degree in French as a foreign langugae, and an MA
in English a foreign language from a German university. Right
now, I am teaching at a German school in China.
Somehow , I like teaching butt I want to teach less since I really
find it tyring.
I also started to play the piano again and want to play in hotel
lobbys but my repertoire is not big enough yet- as to my
sound - I think I am ok - acutally.
Another interest of mine is journalism as a hobby and I did write
articles for several newspapers as a freelancer during my studies
but then stopped.
Recently, I started learning Italian since I want to go to Italy
next year.
Overall , I think I don´t think I am doing anything poperly, and
considering age (42) I don´t have any security yet because
I have always been a freelancer since schools that pay appropriately always ask for two Master´s which I don´t have.
Too late ?? What should I do ?

Stick with teaching for now - thats what I do. It gets a lot easier and a lot less tyring as the years go by because you have a lot less planning to do since you have kept the plans you used in previous years.
It is a very worthwhile and honourable profession too, and generally involves a very decent pension scheme.
You could cut your teaching hours down to part time, and use your evenings developing your piano playing career.
Try asking hotels if they will give you a trial. Tell them you don't want paying for your 1st night, you just want to see if they like you, maybe for an hour or so.
Hope this helps, I think that's what I'd do if I were you anyway.
Good luck

you say schools ask for 2 masters?... you have a BA in french and an MA in english as a foreign language, would it not be beneficial to go back to university for a year and do a MA in french?

As when i visited one web site http://www.ignou.info. I observe that this website contains sufficient material for all your question. This website contains sponser links of all world's universities. Basically this website is focused on correspondance courses or courses of distance learning.http://www.ignou.info also contains information on ITI COURSE , CENTER OF EXCELLANCY ( C.O.E. ) and links for syllabus downloads of iti and center of excellancy . this website also contins information regarding how to get scholaship from UK for study in higher education in UK and USA .
