What are my chances to live a good life in Cambodia with this background: master's degree (Philosophy), 5 foreign languages (Chinese, English, Russian, Korean, Tatar), east European passport holder, Caucasian (white, if it matters for someone. No racism!) with around 19 years teaching experience in China. No smoker, no heavy drinker. Healthy and sporty person with interests in science and culture. Not rich, so can't make investments.
Is it possible to find at least a decent job in Cambodia now? Just a job for the beginning is alright too. i just wonder may I start living there at all?
I hope I can receive some positive answers! Best wishes!

Your teaching history might be your best bet, at a university. What did you teach in Chine?

Mostly languages: English, sometimes Russian and simple Korean. But never in a university. Only in private schools, kindergartens and face-to-face tutoring (home teaching).

I think you will be highly sought after.
Pay rates are generally shit here, better in Vietnam.

75% chance of being dead before 60.
12% chance of being homeless for an undefined period of time in next 5 years.
36% chance of shitting yourself in public and it being reported online.
82% chance of saving a dog/cat from certain death.
92% chance of pronouncing it cum-eye

The rates schools are paying are less than they were 10 years ago. Teaching online is the way to go these days, 10 dollars an hour is the norm, no prep work nor homework, no having to navigate the traffic jams, nor having to deal with stupid Khmer management or power tripping westerners, no exams to mark without pay, work the hours you want from home when you want. Plus, the Japanese adult students are a dream come true for a teacher.

Thanks a lot for the informed opinion! Well said. But is it possible for a non-native English speaker to teache those Japanese adult students? A link to the source/website where one can teach like that, please?

You got two positive responses and two negative. In your latest thread you said replies were mostly negative/pessimistic regarding teaching.
Is this the extent of your exploration of teaching in Cambodia?
You’re either just trying for attention or don’t deserve to succeed

Washing dishes in Europe pays better than teaching in Cambodia, and it's without the annoying screaming kids who can't really be arsed to learn engrish.
6 months washing dishes in Barangland, then 6 months on the piss on holiday in the KOW....
Vs teaching english full time.
