Any short trip on the Skytrain will ensure you see a western crank.

I am still undecided. An MA in education is the safe bet but I would love to read for an MA in Political Violence and Terrorism at St Andrews in Scotland.Quote:

I think he will get sacked today but its woken me up to TEFL as a career. Come to September 2008 I'm going back to the UK to do a masters. I'm sick of working with scum bags and being "guilty by association". :(
Going to return and continue in education in LOS or somewhere else overseas?
I'm pretty happy with my lot now TEFLing is ok if you are young and unmarried but one day I might want to settle down and have a family etc etc and that isn't really a good idea on a TEFLERS salary anywhere in the world.
I'm looking at a year or two back in the dreaded UK but seeing as I have, perhaps, another thirty nine years of work ahead of me it is only common sense to get some real post grad qualifications.
Oh the nutter is still at work. The mofo is running in a marathon in Pattaya tomorrow. Aparently he is near Olympic standard and is best mates with all the world champions. Why does Thailand also attract liars?
This character trait seems to be more acceptable over here...Quote:

They were sudden, clinical, ruthless and efficient, brought out some papers and used the small print to start demolishing his life's work - brick by painful brick.Quote:

It later turned out they sold off some of his properties and assets to themselves and their own kind, at wildly deflated prices, and legally.
This and partial consequences are a buried plot more finely detailed in a book that'll probably never be completed.

Practically every farang i meet was working before in Iraq for 1000U$D per day.Quote:

Now I get 100 baht a day at Ajarn Bazza's Angrit-o-rama and gogo in Chonburi. Anyway next week I start a new job as a Ninja in the French Foreign Legion so I have to say goodbye to all my hi-so Thai mafia contacts what have connections to police generals and the royal family.Quote:

Teaching EFL is a single man's game, depending on how my money one has already invested, how much property one has, or how much outside income one has coming in.
Otherwise, it's a long and tough road. I see it now.
MD, if you already have a real degree, you don't need a masters to get a different job. You need to network. Decide what you might like to do and approach people in the biz. If people know you are hard-working, friendly, polite, clean, neatly dressed, you know like Stroller or Marmie, then you get your foot in. Unless you want to go into investment banking. Then you need an MBA so you can photocopy and collate documents for the first two years.
Network!
