Hello, I am currently working in Korea. I have six months left on a 12 month contract which I intend to finish. My current school has offered me another 12 month contract which would be quite lucrative. My dilemma is that I find Korea to be quite boring. I am considering a move to Cambodia. If I come at the end of this contract in March 2011 I will arrive with about $5000 U.S. If I were to stay another year in Korea I could increase that to $15,000. Would $5,000 be enough to get set up in PP? I have an MBA and a BBA, but no TEFL or CELTA.

If experienced native teachers in Cambodia could chime in it would be appreciated. Should I stay in Korea another year and build up my cash or make the move with $5000 in March 2011?

Thanks

MOD EDIT: No, it's not khmer 440, but it is this:

MOD EDIT 5000 $ is plenty. I found a room in PP for 13 a night, and I think I read of 8 a night, and you might even be able to find that elusive 30 a night with a family or bargains or something. You'd probably have a job in 2 weeks. If that's all you've got and there's no family support, I don't know what I'd recommend. Have enough set aside so you can get out of here in that case.
