The International Schools Review Forum

Hi there! I'm new to this website and new to looking for a good job overseas. I'm an experienced teacher who wants to keep moving and maybe go to Turkey, UAE or Thailand. I've been reading reviews of schools and I know that no place is perfect. I want to know I guess are there any good schools that do pay well and living conditions are good? Im not 20 anymore and I would like a good quality of life, am I kidding myself to think its; out there? Please any advice or help would be greatly appreciated!

Depending on the school you go to, I don't see why you can't have a very comfortable life overseas. When I taught in Indonesia, we had all the comforts of home- nice housing with air conditioning, washer & dryer. Additionally, most people had full time staff, such as maids, cooks, drivers and nannies. Most people I know went out a few times a week for movies, drinks, dinner, etc. and still managed to save thousands of dollars each year.

Thanks for the reply, I guess I just have to be careful and do my homework as to where I go and what school I choose. It's hard to leave the comforts of a permanent teaching job with medical and pension back in Canada.
