not hard to make 2750 times 6.7 which equals 18425 rmb in china, with plenty of women , parties decent weather, cheap food, ect.

Most places advertise 6k rmb. How is it so easy to get 18k? I find that hard to believe.

We had this discussion earlier. Nature Girl- Aren't you an American Citizen?

Think you can forget it unless you an some-how obtain a British Passport..

Are Irish passports' considered British?

Yep, American and Peruvian. American first though Smile Only been Peruvian for two years now. And the Romanian passport is in the works Smile That's part of the EU.

they hire Americans though. I think you're thinking of Libya and that's out for me. They usually hire single males.

I'm pretty limited to countries: just the UAE and Saudi I believe, since my husband would be my dependent.

Don't mind religious fanatics. I worked for Opus Dei for two years at one of their unis.

Couple probs I have
1. My MA is online.
2. My second MA is going to be online as well
3. My husband would be my dependent.
4. My husband's Peruvian.


Any decent college or university in the Middle East would never even give you the time of day with 1,2 or 100 online MA degrees.

fromtheuk,

We need more posts like yours on these types of issues. You presented a well balanced and informative post that would be useful to anyone wishing to work anywhere in the ME.

The basic advice you offer as well as the attitude you propose expats take are valid in a wider scope and can be applied with relevance to expats wishing to do well in any foreign country, including Korea.

Great work.


I find it comical for you to judge other people's posts in a region of the world you are clueless to how the education system works. Please in the future restrict your comments about teaching at a university to Korea not the ME.

Never say never... with the exception of never saying never.

Besides, NatureGirl already has experience at a respected university in Korea.

I think you're confusing the Min of Ed with the Min of Higher Ed. That's apples and oranges.

Yep, two years, plus another 2 years at two other top unis. Six years uni experience, two MAs and I-m not yet 30. NOt bad Smile
