I teach English as a foreign language to adults in Portugal. It is a great country but the economy isn't that great. Though work is easy to get, it's not going to make you rich. But the lifestyle is relatively laid back and the people are really friendly. Most language schools only work Mon - Fri, whereas some school in Asia have a Mon- Sat work policy.
Most countries in Europe need/want qualified native speakers. Most want them to be college educated and/or have a CELTA or TEFL course. If you go to www.tefl.com the entire website is full ofinfo about the job market for Native English teachers. Good luck!

If you are a native speaker of English then the world is your oyster but the pay will be low if you only have bachelors or masters degree. If you have a Ph.D. in language education, TESOL, or ESL or linguistics the pay is better. I have found, from information from Asian friends of mine, that native speakers of English are more highly valued than non-natives.
Education as a field tends to underpay everyone especially women.

CHINA. There are over a 100 million students in rural China, they are ordered to take English as a second language. Plenty of teaching opportunities.

China will be an exploding marketplace for English educators in the coming years. The Pacific Rim remains a viable market for qualified educators.

I think most Asian countries like China, Japan, and Korea have lots of opportunities for English teachers because they want more of their population to be bilingual.
