carlthailand Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 Wheres the rubbing hands gleefully smilie. I can help you Billy. You seem to have some money. If you forward 100,000 baht I will get you into a TEFL course here in Thailand. I will also be able to put you in contact with some schools when you arrive.

mbkudu Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I know a nice Nigerian chap who's just opened a TEFL school in Pattaya. He just needs your banking details and your passport for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet GE are quaking at the thought of losing their crown as the worlds biggest conglomerate. I can see it now on ABC - Billy conquers Thailand - a success story due to the free trade agreement - woops better not mention that or Billy is going to have a whole heap of other import/export ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangkokian Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 (edited) It looks like you really wanna get out of down under. Well, if you have all the good intentions, I'd say you should get the help to get here legally, and really consider teaching English to the cleaners here, at least in your spare time. You should also check what the Thai-Aus free-trade entails--Perhaps you won't need to spend that much to get here. Seriously, there's a shortage of real labor job almost all over the world, and in some of these places you can perhaps earn more than what you're getting in Australia. Unfortunately, Thailand is not one of those places with very high cost of labor. I don't suppose there's anything wrong with your idea of teaching, as long as you are sure that you will be able to stay committed and sincere to the profession. Afterall, many people from English-speaking countries take advantage of TEFL opportunity as a mean to get out of a state of stagnation. Sadly, many or at least some of these people are not all that committed and sincere, regardless of what "qualifications" they may have. I used to volunteer-teach English to new immigrants and teens on probation while I was in College, and that's in an English-speaking country. I suppose you'd be able to find a similar facility in Australia where you can be of help, and help yourself find out whether you really have a passion for teaching. I don't mean to dismiss the importance of your current exprience, but I really think you should find out if it is really something you really can do with some degree of commitment. As for myself, I don't currently teach because I really get burned by the English-teaching politics in Thailand. I think I'd be a better learner and educator if I could make a living from an independent biz that does not formally and directly involve teaching of the English language. I don't think you'd have too much of a problem with the politics I talk about here.....But I do hope that you'd make a responsible choice.

bangkokian Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I thought I should add that you might consider contacting the bkexpert cleaning company advertised on this site. See, I'd wanted to run a biz like this one, but I don't have any experience in the field. I had wanted to learn from an operator in Oregon about this environmental cleaning biz, but I didn't.....

PeaceBlondie Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I may be old, but I'm not slow. I assumed the OP was hetero, and I was guessing the bargirls could teach him a few things about empty wallets. Oh, the barboys are quite talented in that regard, as well. We used to have long talks about it on dreadedned.com until their forum shut down. IJWT warned me before I ever got here. Barboys, barboys; don't get me started.
