Colombia

[Tomato]

Dear graduates:

There is a fabulous teaching opportunity in a fabulous school in Santa Marta, Colombia. I visited the school in April and was very impressed. Three former TEPpers have taught there to date, one is staying on for a 2nd year. The school is Colegio Bureche and they need a Math teacher for this school year. It is quite urgent...2 weeks for school to begin. The salary for the position is $65,000.

$65k teacher in Santa Marta? wha

 

[MonkeyF0cker]

Yeah. That's what I was thinking...

Is the dollar that bad?

 

[rito]

its a nice place. i have a friend with a place on the beach there.

 

[rito]

Yeah. That's what I was thinking...

Is the dollar that bad?

thats probably 10x what a local math teacher makes

 

[roguejuror]

what's going on here Tomato? Why are they willing to spend so much more on a foreigner?

 

[rito]

yea something seems odd with that.

 

[roguejuror]

lifestyle wise is gonna be better than California tomato

and with that money you're going to be very comfortable

 

[rito]

with a job, they will hook you up right away with a visa and a bank account and you can start abusing euro books

Wow. People just drive their boats up to the beach? And their trucks on the beach to trailer them?

[roguejuror]

[MonkeyF0cker]

yea i guess, my friend had his boat in some parking lot a few blocks away, the guys there pulled it over to the beach and backed it into the ocean. its a nice little place. i hate the beach though so doesnt much interest me.
