yeah teaching english in vietnam is a good deal if youre cool with being a white person prop while making 10x the average monthly income of the country.

i wasnt a teacher i was even worse, I Work Online, but vietnam is a really great and beautiful country imo and it might be worth it to teach for a half a year or whatever just to see the country and the rest of se asia.

So basically getting a look at the life of a boomer they put behind trump at his rallies

If so he was totally right by the way but trump thread doesn't think that it is a smart thread so not sure if he accomplished anything here.

he could've just asked and we'd tell him the truth

from the person i know that taught there for 3 years:

you get stuck in segregated compounds and can't ever hang out with the opposite sex (also all porn sites are blocked, though i'm guessing you can just use a vpn), alcohol, while technically legal for foreigners, is super hard to get and extremely expensive, to the point where a bunch of his co-workers were making literal prison wine, there's absolutely nothing to do except to spend a shitload of money going to bahrain and dubai for the weekends (i guess there's some alright beaches where you can learn to scuba dive and stuff, but apparently the visibility is kinda poo poo and there's nothing to see), etc.

basically it sounds like literal prison, except you're making 4k a month. some people can handle that, but a shitload of people think they can and then get there and go nuts / quit / get insanely bitter

The whole idea of those teach abroad programs is that the standards are insanely low and so is the cost of living so any lovely white dude can go do sex tourism while living cheap and come home with some extra cash. It's not that Vietnam and China actually pay their teacher more
