There is a type of posting that appears on a regular basis, it goes along the lines of.
“ Am about to arrive, got no money and want to teach”
Why would some idiot think that they can dump there fucked up version of
“English” on a Third world country and expect to get away with it.
If they havn’t the brains to plan there trip, get the qualifications and have enough bucks behind them, why would they think they represent the cream of “English Teachers” and would be employable.
Why would I eploy you

I refuse to go out with nothing more than a whimper followed by a small farting sound and a shit stain on my bed sheets..
Just thought I'd share that with you.

So I am looking to move to PP, so what. I do not have $5000 bucks behind me, if I was materialistic then i would look to move to a rich private boarding school not a country like Cambodia.
As it happens I want to teach because I enjoy teaching, and I want to teach in Cambodia because I have read enough about it to realise I want to leave the supposed 'civilisation' of the first world.
So what is your issue? Seems reasonable to me that people might want to do such a thing in a crazy half arsed first world country

I agree with you, if you have little money but have the luck of being a native English speaker why wouldn't you want to teach in a place that pays well, has very low living costs and requires little or no qualifications?
I am thinking of coming over in a few months from Thailand, did you like Cambodia? Where did you work and how much did they pay you? Did you spend all your money on being naughty or did your pay just no cover your expenses? Any porblems getting a job there? Any Recommendations?mama-cheu wrote:About to leave, got no money, did teach
(Sorry for all the questions BTW.............. I just need )
Yes I will get the hang of not double clicking and sending the post twice eventually. Come on chaps just because I work in IT at the moment does not mean I know a lot about computers, dammit why do you think there are so many up #$ck ups in IT.
I want to move to a relatively simpler environment so I can concentrate on the things that matter rather than pricing margins and cost variance analysis...in fact.....I want to be a ........lumberjack (no comments from baggy please)

Staffroomers,
Please excuse my posting this message on another section of this board. No-one wanted to give me any advice, so I ask here. The last thing I could go along with is inferior teaching for poor mugs in Third World Countries. An English teacher can be a booze or ganga-sodden hipster just off the plane from Bangkok or can be a chap (or chapess) who can teach for six months and advance their students' prospects by two years.
I'm passing through Cambodia in August. I taught there once (1993) for a few weeks. Since then that place has been haunting me and dragging me back. Now I'm free and have a teaching degree, Grad diploma in TESOL, and a Master's in International Education. What do you chaps think are the chances of a short contract allowing me to decide whether Cambo is the place but also paying 200-300 $US per month?
I can run IELTS workshops and Industry stuff but I don't really want to do it for peanuts (as I have in Thailand). I'll need rent money!
By the way, last time I was in Phnom Penh the Capitol was actually one of the few 'clean' places to stay. I did enjoy it, and got lots of good info about roadblocks and Rouges and so on. What is the Capitol like these days?
Remember one morning a Canadian hip-type came back from the market with a supermarket bag full of gan*a. I thought it was a bit dangerous to carry around. He said, "Man, this isn't dangerous, this is my best friend". Maybe he was right.
Regards to all in Phnom Penh,
Lazlett

I think you are underselling yourself a little there. From your experience, I should think about $1000 at least on top of what you are asking would be more like it.lazlett wrote: What do you chaps think are the chances of a short contract allowing me to decide whether Cambo is the place but also paying 200-300 $US per month?
