A lot of nonsensical rambling and repetition of the gloom and the doom on here lately. Dragonpiwo, particularly, the key stereotyper. People can rise above their initial lust for Polish ladies. In fact, I've averted such 'dangers' for some time now.
In Poland, I genuinely believe it is possible (in fact, relatively simple) to be innovative, marketable and successful (for most of you that means earning over a certain figure a month). It kills the debate about living hand-to-mouth really.
Regards
John. |

Of course it is.
But if someone's 2nd biggest expense is alcohol, then your answer is right there. |

| I swear I don't quite get what it is with the TEFL poor-mouthing syndrome bit. Seems like a high percentage of people in TEFL spend a lot of time carrying on about how screwed up wherever they are happens to be and how much better it will be somewhere new. Gets wearisome after awhile. |

I generally think that this sort of behaviour points at who you are rather than the place, to be honest.
There might be a point in describing Berlin, Barcelona, Prague and Krakow as being screwed up for TEFL, but they are hardly representative of the entire continent. |

It's all relative. As an industry, TEFL Poland may be somewhat screwed up compared to TEFL Western Europe. But TEFL Thailand, Cambodia or most of TEFL Asia for that matter, make TEFL Poland look like a shining pillar of virtue.
But no matter what country you're in, there will always be good schools and bad schools to work for. You've just got to have more exp. and quals. to get jobs with the good ones. |
