I assume he was talking about the UAE job.

Some work is better than other.  Like my work : :thumbsdown: :(

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

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

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'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.

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