China or UAE?
Posted: Wed Apr 06, 2011 10:12 pm
Hi,
I am trying to decide between working at an international school in China, with a Canadian curriculum (which is where I'm from) and teaching at a public school in the United Arabs Emerite.
The job in China is at an international school, but mostly attended by Chinese students. It is a Canadian curriculum school, which is where I am from. It would be teaching High School english literature. I'd be able to save 20,000/year. I;d get 3 months paid vacation. I know someone who worked there and enjoyed it.
The job in the UAE would probably be at an Elementary public school, and I would be on the lower end of the pay scale.
I am wondering which one would be better in terms of...
- saving money (how much can I save in the UAE)?
- getting a job in Canada and also at an international school elsewhere - at the elementary school level
- lifestyle
If anyone has any advice at all let me know! Thanks!
