Can you give more incite into which careers favor the Delta over the MA TESOL and vice versa? Also, are there other certificates for specialized jobs? Depends

Can you talk about how one becomes a successful in-person/online tefl tutor, and what kind of visa it takes to legally start tutoring? (I read that in a lot of countries, if a company sponsors your visa it is illegal to make money tutoring on the side.)

I read that teachers sometimes ignore what their managers tell them about how to teach saying that what the managers said did not benefit the learners. What is your advice on how to navigate a situation like that?
