Public Service Loan Forgiveness

Hi Bob (and others) -

Did you ever receive a final answer about receiving PSLF while working at a non-profit international school?

Thanks.

What are my chances?

Hi everyone. I apologize if this should be posted somewhere else. If so, let me know and I'll move it.

My wife and I are hoping to land a decent job in SE Asia for the 2012-13 school year. We would like to work in a larger city near the ocean, and we don't want a job in a school that gets poor reviews on ISR. Money isn't all important, but we don't want to be completely living paycheck to paycheck. Some of the cities we're interested in are Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, or Manila.

My question is what are our chances of getting what we want? Here's an overview of our qualifications:


Age: John (31), Heidi (34)

Teaching experience: John (5 years public school), Heidi (6 years public, 3 years private)

Licenses: We both hold Colorado professional teaching licenses

Subjects sought: John (drama or counseling) Heidi (elementary or ELL)

Advanced degrees: John - MA Theatre Education & M.Ed. Guidance and Counseling, Heidi - M.Ed. Elementary Education & Graduate certificate Teaching English Language Learners

IB Experience: None (but I would attend a MYP or DP theatre training in Florida in June if it helped my chances)

Thank you for taking the time to give me your feedback!

John
