Do You Have A Plan B, If All Else Fails ?

[FunkMonk]

My central planning never fails.

[Queequeg]

Crystal meth addiction.

There are so many countries in the world that need English teachers, my plans B,C, etc is simply a list of countries, each a little less desirable than the last.

Crystal meth addiction.

Might want to rethink that one just a bit.

[Zoupa]

Sort of. It's vaguely going to the States and plying my skills as a charlatan.

Seriously.

That's my plan now too
Gonna be fun trying to save for retirement on ~$20,000/year and no 401k, etc.

I'm on track to go to China in October. I'll make about the same as I did in Korea, maybe slightly more, but have to pay my own rent (which, granted, will be much lower, even in Shanghai).

I would like to go to Vietnam and Mongolia if I did the permanent TEFL teacher route. Winter in Ulaanbaatar would certainly be an experience.

Be heading back to the states in October, I'm waiting on my next FBI check. Once I get that I'm going to apply for jobs in Japan, Taiwan and Dubai. Vietnam does sound enticing.

Maybe a bit off-kilter, but I really have had suicide ready as Plan B for at least 5 years.  Or even as Plan A at certain moments.  But what other card do you need with that in your deck?

[Tamas]

Career-wise plan A is working out surprisingly well, especially considering that the whole plan was like half a sentence long.

Vietnam was awesome, especially Saigon/HCMC. Lots of creepy westerners, as you would expect in SE Asia, but lots of cool people too. It's supposed to be really easy to get TEFL jobs there, since it's not one of the big teaching destinations. Everything is dirt-cheap, too. The biggest problems would be the weather and the air pollution. Oh, and insane motorbikes everywhere.

From what I remember jobs seemed to range from $1000-1400 a month, but if the average person makes $100 a month you can probably live pretty well just spending 2-300 a month and saving the rest.

Also, the salaries in Arabia are insane. The ones in Saudi pay $40k per year, the ones in Dubai range from $3,500-8,000 per month!

But you have to live in Saudi Arabia or UAE 
I for one prefer to enjoy alcohol and women on my days off.
