guys i got a question..i got a school who wants to hire me but they're really pushing me to do the "dzialalnosc gospodarcza" (to open up my own business)..they are only offering 10 hours..would it be really worth it in that case? can anyone help?

That's a tough question without first knowing more info about your situation. What other work and/or offers of work have you got?

Opening a dzialalnosc would certainly make you a more attractive for other schools and business clients to hire. They can simply invoice you for your services.

On the other hand, you will have to pay your own social/health insurance every month and probably hire an accountant.

If you've got a school which will give you enough hours at a decent rate of pay AND doesn't require you to open a dzialalnosc, I'd say stick with them and don't do it. Otherwise, you gotta weigh the pros and cons.

If it's just for 10 hours a week it's probably not worth it.

Where is it? Does it have a good rate of pay?

40hrs * 50 = 2000pln month.

Rent will be between 1000-1500mth.

Living expenses will will be 400-800mth.

This does not count paying zus and other taxes.

I can't tell you all the contracts.

$45-50 would only be passible if they are pay taxes.

Keep in mind that Krakow is an expensive city.
