Hi Ted I'm on that now - though it is my 2nd year of contract coming up and not in the best paying place in Saudi, some of the good ones pay a lot more than 4k a month so I've heard. I'm I.T. but the ESL teachers here are on the same and more for some who've been here longer. I do wonder if the cash is worth the cost to my sanity tho

Yea, I think 4,000 USD a month (48,000 a year) would be a good average to look for. I make a little more, but it's a good place to start.
