This question is especially for Americans, who often have access to 401ks, Social Security, Medicare, and pensions back home.

Even if one is able to save $15,000+ each year, it may be difficult to match the full scope of benefits that stateside teachers receive.

Unless teachers working internationally can really put $$$ away, they seem to be at a disadvantage. Just what kind of packages are out there in the upper-tier schools?

Pardon my ignorance, but what is a DOS supported school?

I've worked at schools where the retirement was disguised as a "yearend " bonus, another where we received 7% of our yearly salary to be invested with a specific plan, and yet another where we got 10% of our yearly salary in cash.
