WEll now Im an offical member of the club and Im wondering what U guys do here , Im pretty sure U dont teach. what crap gig that is. But hey if its your bag then fair enough.
If ur not into sharing it here on the forum then please pm me to let me know as Im grabbing at thin air regarding finding smthing other than the classroom/ teaching / kid thing/ nightmare. They are drinving me up the wall with thier stupidity and I fear it is / has effected me after all these years facing such kind of people and the energy of lack of interest/ dont want to learn. Anyway I will shut up about that part ā¦so if U could share smthing about ur own journey from teaching to another way ā¦Iād be very grateful.
I surf. Iām retired. I traded in my JFRV for the APRC because I didnāt want to be at my wifeās mercy if or more likely when she decides to kick me to the curb! :roflmao:
Also, if I decide to work for myself or for someone else, I donāt need a work permit to do it.
Raja, whatās your background in? I know how tough teaching can be when youāve burned out on it and itās even tougher when you feel you need to be doing something else. The question is, do you KNOW what else you want to do?
I had a background in engineering but got caught in the teaching ātrapā for a few years before realizing that the best way out of it would be to renew my credentials by getting an advanced degree. I spent two (actually it turned into three) years getting a masterās degree (I continued teaching the whole time) and was fortunate enough to make some contacts who set me up with two job interviews.
How is your Chinese? Iām not going to say itās essential but it really helps for getting a leg up into jobs that donāt involve teaching. Have you browsed www.104.com.tw ? Aside from the companies seeking employees on those sites, youāll also find headhunter agencies who may be more helpful by being able to set you up with the right kind of company for you.
