Default Nie teaching

Hi everyone. Thanks for the informative posts. I really learnt alot about the realities of teaching.

Am an accounting grad with 2nd honors from a UK uni. And currently in big 4. I really want to do teaching. Why? Because i did not learn accounting to climb the corporate ladder and "mould" numbers for the clients' needs or the boss orders.

My calling has always been in nonprofit and human development. Its not my ambition to be a millionaire or a CFO. I have spent a few years doing work in education and research at the local uni and healthcare for charities. Yes i have done my stint doing tuition to earn a few bucks and i love coaching others at the workplace, but i'm sure it doesnt compare to teaching per se. Hence, i just wanna do teaching to help and develop the young.

My questions as follows:
1) does nie only take local uni grads?
2) im 30. Will age be an issue?
3) is it difficult to be selected by nie? Do they have a high number of applicants for the limited positions?
4) is there a demand to teach principles of accounts (POA)?
