Sorry Hazza I thought you was doing some nose looking down

Exception generally (it doesn't really apply to Unis, language schools etc.). Although a lot of 'proper' schools (in and more often outside of Bangkok) offer free accommodation or a bit of extra cash (to the value of the accommodation) instead.

I don't rate myself as any sort of 'good' teacher....but I'm pretty confident I'd be able to get reasonably well paid work if I wanted to. You gotta work it, can you work it, put you something or other down and la la la or something!
