Yes, that is about average for a first year AC job.
Make sure you have agreed on a 40 hour a week schedule, do you have 5 days off in a row? Do you have to sub at the mercy of the scheduling elf? Do you have a split shift?
Get all the info you can on an email prior to accepting. |

Thanks for the info. DO you mean two days off in a row? I'll be sure to ask about the other things. |

| I've noticed your posts in other forums, trying to decide what's the best place to go to after Peru. What's going to happen with your husband? Do you think he's going to be able to find work there? Just curious. Good luck! |

Sigh. I don't know. I've had a job offer from Korea, China and Vietnam. Korea's not possible becuase he couldn't work legally. CHina doesn't pay well and my husband doesn't really want to go there, though I do. Vietnam looks good and they'll get him a visa for six months for 100 USD.
We've got a couple of choices open to us.
Basically, we could stay in Peru until the end of the year, I've had two job offers from British International Schools here in Lima. Problem is that my husband worked for the government and because they're so stable here, they broke contract and he's out of a job. So I'm working and he's not.
We could leave. I could go back to a school I worked for that has a branch in China or Czech Rep and I know it's a good school. Or we could go somewhere different.
WE could go to the USA, not my choice, but if he goes, he could learn English and if we stayed long enough, get citizenship. There's a programme similar to BUNAC for Peruvians and he could get an H2B visa which would be faster than a spousal visa, and cheaper, thing is would they give it to someone who's married to an American?
WE're looking at all the possibilites, I don't want to go to the USA. I know it pays well, but it's super expensive. |
