Wanna teach but not die! Seriously...

Ok, maybe I have been back in the States for too long (10 years) after teaching in the Middle East and Asia for a number of years. Where IN THE WORLD is an actual safe place to live and teach these days? All this horrible crap going on in the ME, nuclear fish in Japan, crazy jihadists all over the place. Where, oh where to go???

Top Paying school in Colombia?

What's the top paying school in Colombia? Can a single person live fairly well, travel and still save a good bit?

American School in Japan - how long?

So how often does this school have vacancies? Must one wait for someone to die or retire in order to get a shot at an interview?

Saudi Aramco salary

So after years of being somewhat intrigued by this school and hearing tons of rumors about how grand it is to work there I want to know... How much do teachers really make? I know it's a lot but I want numbers.... anyone?

Thanks for the response, HeyTeach. What countries were the schools in who told you they wouldn't be able to get a visa? And on the flip side, which countries/schools tended to want older teachers with experience? I taugh internationally for several years a while back. I'll probably head back overseas once my parents pass away. Don't get me wrong, I hope they are here for a good little while both they are both 85 years old with declining so it is what it is. I'm 47 now but could very well be in my mid 50's when I decide to go overseas again. Just trying to plan for the future because I adored working abroad. I'd probably retire early here and then head on out. You've been on this forum forever and I always appreciate your input. I forgot where you are... aren't you in Egypt or was that an old post for you?

Ageism in International Schools

Has anyone experienced or known anyone who has experienced ageism when applying to international schools? (Thinking specifically of tier 1 & 2 schools.

No Spring Chicken

Wondering which countries are willing to hire applicants over 55 years of age. I have heard that some countries will not allow work visas for older applicants. Thanks.

@ WeDoDude - your posts are particularly helpful. I especially appreciated reading that DODDS is expanding in Spain, Italy, Belgium and two new schools are opening in Korea.

Can you give more specifics on where in these countries the expansions/new schools will be?

Thanks!
