So.. this past week I've been siiiiiick. Really really sick. Which I guess if I would take the early symptoms of becoming sick more seriously (i.e. and not stayed out all night and sleep inadequate amounts) I could have avoided the whole ordeal. But, while I was still feeling ok I

Hi, I found your LJ randomly and I have a question to ask you if I may.

- when you got offered a job teaching at a university, do you already have a degree back home or are you doing one at the moment?

I was just wondering coz my boyfriend (British) doesn't have a degree but he has a computer job in Bangkok. He is also interested in teaching English and computer in a university so just ask for information:)

by the way, I study at Mahidol University in Salaya too.

well hello neighbor! :) May I ask which faculty you are in?

I do have a degree from home. I have a B.A. in Linguistics.

I am currently studying for my master's here..but will be returning home shortly do to conflicts (which you may have read some in this journal)

I was offered the position under special circumstances. 1. I know people in the English Department at that university and 2. They were trying to replace a teacher that they no longer wanted to teach there.

I was told that usually they would not offer the position to someone with less than a master's

There are certain *new* requirements for foreigners teaching in Thailand as well as loopholes to get around them. Your boyfriend could probably get a job based on the fact that he's British, but the pay may not be that good without a degree.

I'm a junior in faculty of arts, not the international program though. Just the Thai one :) Sorry it didn't work out for you here. I think my boyfriend will stick with his computer job for now because it pays quite good money.

So do you live in Salaya? Me and my bf live in front of the school (Door 2)

I hope you enjoy Thailand till you go back home.

[janejira]

yes I live in Salaya... in front of door 1 (I think)

I'm also in the faculty of arts, master's program. we've probably seen each other before and just not known it. :)

small world.
