What the fuck are you talking about? I clearly stated my reasoning for not wanting an english teaching job. It has nothing to do about my 'standards' it's that I don't want to go to another place just to go there - I want to be getting valuable job/professional experience that will help me later in my career and to enter grad school. Adding, "taught english in China" isn't going to help me case AT ALL, I'm not demeaning the profession, but it's not what I am interested in. Dumbass.

Clearly your retarted. When Chill said the same thing about you being a dumbass you just sit there but when a newbie like me comes along you argue. Whatever, Xeris you know as well as i do when you put the adjective 'dumbass' and put the word teacher besides it you put a negative connotation to the word and therefore your obviously insulting the profession. I dont give a rat's ass at what you want to do in the world but to insult other's professions is stupid. Clearly the 10+ years of education havent helped u all.

To freshen up your dim lightbulb of a brain this is what u said
First off: NO, I don't want a dumbass teaching job in Korea or anywhere else, I am looking for a real, substantial job that will give me good experience and look nice on a grad school application.

you said you dont want a dumbass teaching job because it doesnt give you a 'REAL' (what the fuck how much more real can a job get) and a 'Substantial job' ( ????????) that will give u a good epxerience and will look nice on your application. So your implying that teaching in Korea or overseas posesess not one of those things. Therefore your insulting.

Face it, your OP was negative all around.

I happen to have a teaching job in Korea and they are what you make of them. Calling them dumbass is an insult to all of us teachers who do work hard. I teach 20 lessons a week to 2-5 year olds in a private kindergarten and it is a substantial and rewarding experience. It's also mentally draining and involves a lot of preparation time. Please don't make such unfounded generalizations about a professional you don't have any experience regarding.

Real and substantial for me. Note how this is my blog, where presumably I'm talking about things pertaining to me. If I was posting in the GENERAL forum, maybe then you could think I was making general statements, but as this is a blog about me and my life, when I say 'dumbass teaching job' I'm referring to the fact that everyone I've said this to so far has said "oh just go teach overseas!", which is not what I want to do. Why? Not because it's inherently bad, but because for my career, teaching English won't help me at all.

Plus I already have three years of teaching at the high school level, so additional teaching overseas won't do anything for me. The difference between Chill's response and yours was that he just said I was a dumbass for looking down on teaching jobs (I don't), and you insulted me by calling me an asshole and an egoist. There's a difference.

Cool story man.

real and substantial for you and yes this is your blog. So let me sum it up. In YOUR BLOG where its YOUR own fairy tale and you control everything. YOU think that TEACHING is below your level and NOT real. Its exactly the same whether its in your world, my world, my blog or your blog. Your insult was uncalled for and it suprises me that your defending yourself up to this point.

Think about it this way, if i wrote the blog that you had wrote would you not feel the same way?

No man... I never even said it was "below my level" - I just said it's not useful for me. I could get a job as a chef somewhere (I LOVE cooking), but I'd say that's not a real substantial job at this point because it won't help me professionally because I don't want to be a cook as my profession. Either way, I'm not demeaning the profession of cooking, nor am I demeaning the profession of English teaching overseas... I'm merely stating that it's not for me.

Did I say it badly, probably. But since I've already explained that my intention was not to demean the process, there was no point in you flaming me, or even posting in my blog if you didn't like it.

I'm looking for jobs right now and coming to the realization that sometimes that sometimes you have to take what you can get and that you can't necessarily get a job that will further your career right away. I'm just lucky that my parents are so forgiving about it.

Sometimes you have to make compromises in life - and sometimes you learn shit that you wouldn't have learned otherwise in a job that you weren't sure you wanted in the first place

I know it sucks, but we just gotta suck it up and deal with it

That's very true, and I realize that as well. However, as I haven't even really begun my search, I haven't considered English teaching really... especially because I've heard that the market for it in China is really good and if all else fails I can do that. Hence why I came here on TL and asked for advice on whether or not anybody knows of anything I could do, or how to go about searching for a job over there.

The problem I see for you is that since your specialization is Middle Eastern affairs, and I don't think many people in China are looking for people with that kind of specialization. I also think that if you can't speak fluent chinese, I don't think they'll even hire you to teach english in China. For example, I was offered a job teaching english in China because I'm fluent in both Chinese and English.
If I were you, I would concentrate on trying to find a job there. Since you are fluent in French, I'm sure you can find websites online that will help you.

Not fluent, but good enough. You're right though I guess about the Chinese... but actually China does A LOT of business with Iran, I might be attractive to them =P
