[Eddie Teach]

What isn't  ? Pay isn't so bad in California.

I assume he was talking about the UAE job.

[Jaron]

Oh, well..work is work, eh?

[garbon]

Some work is better than other.  Like my work :

I was. I didn't read the entire thread & wasn't responding to the Emoron post.

Man, I make that money.
But at least I'm someplace civilized.

$36K a year to go & teach in the Middle East?  What an insult.

RIght?  I make more than that now to sit around and post on Languish all day in the United States.

[Ed Anger]

I want to teach Sex Ed in a high school.

The UAE is very civilized, Dubai is Monaco-like. Its where all the rich and famous go on holiday.

[The Brain]

  They worship Mohammed.

Yeah, they need to add zero on to that.  Especially since they want familiarity with Arabic language,  that's a high demand skill in the war on islam.

Exactly.  That makes the $36,000 offer simply laughable.  I am supposed to live in a place that expensive for such a tiny amount?

It does just say the UAE, not Dubai. I don't know how big the variation is between the emirates but I would imagine its there.
And IIRC though there are facilities to cater for the stupidly rich the average people of the country are a bit poorer than a typical western place. At uni in the UK I had a friend from Dubai and she wasn't too rich at all.

They worship Mohammed.

And Americans worship Jesus. Both are, if taken alone, indicitive of a lower level of development but they aren't the whole story.

[DisturbedPervert]

They're paying for accommodations, which is the biggest cost.  Hordes of Pakistanis live there on almost nothing, it doesn't have to be expensive unless you want it to be.

[Eddie Teach]

And Americans worship Jesus.

As do French, Germans, Chinese, Brits and some brave Arabs. So what.
