Hee hee! A highly qualified consultant now? Excellent! Lots of enquiries about nannying? Hope it isn't about geography or detective work. How many sledgehammer hints does it take : ) Anyway your boast about starting a business here didn't last long, thankfully...

Now why did you leave Russia? A better job? So why do you want to come back? Holding down a job is a valuable skill to acquire.

If you find teaching English so beneath you, you do you post on a forum for TEFL teachers?

I didn't think you were that gullible to miss the sarcasm.

And why are you so interested in my reasons, I don't need to explain anything to you, some stranger on an internet forum.

You have the mindset of an academic, not a business man.

I wonder if you've had financial training and learned how to invest.

Jobs come and go. Build a foundation where you got income streams.

Say you get a stroke or heart attack and can't teach, then what are you going to do? I don't know how healthy you are but if you drink vodka and eat shashlik as often as most Russians, and smoke, then odds aren't looking too good.

I never said teaching English was beneath me at all. There are levels of pay for various students, I just hope you're earning enough to feed your family.

What's "you do you"....typing drunk again? hahaha....Anyone can post on a public forum, are you the forum police now?

You do seem to rub many members here the wrong way, as evident by the replies to your previous posts on several threads.

You seem to have a social awkwardness with people, I wonder what the feedback from your students are.

Many posters get rubbed up the wrong way for all sorts of reasons. Many posters are just trolls. They usually don't last too long though...

'I don't need to explain anything to you, some stranger on an internet forum.'

This is very true. Glad to see we have finally come round to that to that basic principle. So perhaps there will be fewer jibes about people's religion and nationality, or even type of English they speak.

It is easy to talk up oneself on a forum. But the fact remains that some people have the wrong attitude to working abroad, and so they fail. Fairly fast too. Some people thrive. No amount of Münchhausen storytelling changes that...

I'm not the one who needs to wonder about is and are. Or subject verb agreement etc.
