Long story short:
I currently teach in Thailand, having applied for the job/visa using my Bachelor of Science Psychology degree.
I have also studied Biology at Masters level, but I could not pay the tuition fees so I do not legally have the degree until I pay those fees - which I am currently paying in monthly instalments. However, I have the option to take out a bank loan and pay this in one go, but, with loan interest, this will work out more expensive than the monthly payments.
If I can use this Masters degree to get a higher salary, despite the fact it is not related to teaching, then taking out the loan will be worth it. If anyone has any information on this then I would greatly appreciate it!
Many thanks.
