Talking to them doesn’t help. I’m a German teacher for new immigrants and I explained how poorly people adjust to a new country when all they wanted was something different, and they condescended to me about not letting my personal experience (with scores of students) color my opinion 🤦
I just hope anyone who’s interested based on what they’re saying adequately prepares themselves. I’m personally a proponent of freer global migration and language teaching, but it’s laughable to think that it’s general advice for people who don’t like their current situation.
But “you’re a hypocritical idiot for not saving all the money from a minimum wage job and finding a dirt poor country to live in or going across the world for some random job most people don’t want to do” is nonsense.
I’ve helped a lot of people stop working, so you’re definitely incorrect on both counts.
Most commenters here are responding to their fears or anxieties of being a teacher specifically, which is one of the simplest and quickest solutions (among many) to their stated goals.
If your goals are to minimize work to maximize your own time, becoming an English teacher is a very simple and fast way to achieve those goals.
That is practicality; the opposite of delusion.
There are many other ways to work less and have more free time that you and the others are too afraid to investigate, let alone seriously attempt.
This is very common anxiety, and an example of your delusion you’re projecting.
My suggestions, that you have not heard or considered, work when actually attempted.
Maximizing your own time and minimizing the amount of work you have to do is a very simple goal to realize by various methods.
It’s just scary for you because If those are your goals and you succeed in achieving them so quickly, it means that you’ve been wasting your life complaining about something you could have changed at any time because you were too afraid to be sincere and ask for help.
Often, it turns out that maximizing your own time and minimizing work are not your values and goals and you don’t know yourself as well as you thought you did, which also frightens people.
He should try something easier that fixes his problems instead.
It’s surprisingly pretty rare when someone wants that either.
Because your suggestions are all completely deluded.
They’re not better. For pretty much anyone.

I’m all for it if that’s what you want to do.
