Again, I don't get yer point. I'm not asking anything other than if yer a content teacher. You said that that was more than they offered you.

I said that I don' care what a content teacher makes. My question towards you is if you were a content teacher.

You advise not to negotiate as it was more than you were offered, but if yer not a content teacher, how can you give that advice?

Littleoldlady,

Yes, it's a good salary.

BUT --- is that all there is?

Are you also being offered accommodation, and if so, who pays the utility bills? Do you get regular air fares home? Is there a gratuity? Who pays for health care?

There's a lot more to a contract than just the salary.

It's probably close to the bottom of the scale for content teachers. If the job is with HCT you will be able to climb the salary ladder steadily. If it doesn't come with accomodation, tickets, medical, etc. then it's fairly low IMHO. Besides, if you're not getting accomodation provided you have added stress and potential/probably future problems when rents stabilize and start to rise again.
