CNN posted the below article.....I suppose with jobs hard to come by in the U.S., korean schools will have a more abundant supply of candidates
to choose from....but...China...for 500 bucks a month?!

I recently replied to a job in Yemen, and they quoted me (with my advanced degrees) a job for $600 a month. I guess if they can get people for that low, good for them. I nearly had a heart attack when I saw that quote in the email.

What the hell would you want to go to Yemen for?

If you study Arabic and have experience working in an Arabic speaking country, you have a hell of a lot more cash potential than Korea. I was considering the UAE.

I can't wait to leave to be honest. It's only Tuesday and this week has already proved to be one of my worst so far. Nothing serious, just the typically egg-headed Korean nonsense that leaves you scratching your head in befuddlement from time to time. Compounded I should add by both a stinking cold and a 4000 word assignment deadline.

Still, roll on I suppose.

I am aware of that fact. I am actually considering the UAE myself. However, Yemen doesn't sound like my cup of tea for whatever reason.
