I did those things too, Jihad, for many years. I still do to a certain extent.
It's amazing how your energy suddenly comes back, isn't it? ;)

Absolutely. It's sometimes worth forking out money for people to tell you the error of your ways :)

Some women here are glad to take on that role. And why not? They get things done and and highly domesticated. Some men need to be disciplined.

Feedback / Why do people post on polish forums [27]
Right, those elusive posters that were somehow Godlike and abandoned the forums en masse. We hear so much of them.
There are many good new posters, Daisy, I'm sure they don't bite and would be happy to hear your comments.

Spot on, frd. There is social pressure to marry but the kids can come later, after the holidays and job hopping.

Which just goes to show that it's about options and not principles. How can there be so many mistakes that they want an abortion? Abortions should be costly to serve as a deterrent.

I don't think so. Although I'm not out with my clipboard and pen, I don't imagine that they are any different from Scots, for example. Some women bring it on themselves.

Work / BA in Business Admin, will this help me become a teacher in Poland? [15]
I went to where I could get into at the time, lad ;) It converted to Uni status in 1992
On the second point, there can be no doubt about that.

I got a BA (Hons) and then an LLM, delph. The first from RGU and the second from Aberdeen Uni. I learned to cut through the nonsense. The second course is very hard to get but guarantees nothing in the job market.
Some schools hire people without high school and I know that as a fact. If I were to advise the author of the thread, I'd say that he should hunt down a school which teaches Business English. Otherwise, your studies become null and void, esp after the passing/passage of time.
Daffy, I got it without scrolling down :) :)

I did Law and Management for 4 years, a highly generic and vocational course. I learned many management theories and concepts and was taught well. I then specialised in International and European Law for a year. I loved the challenge of the courses.
However, these are reduced to door openers sometimes, taking a backseat to things like travel experience and class time. I completed my BA (Hons) course in 1999 and started teaching in Japan in 2001. I had the chance to use some ideas in Voice classes, ie free conversation, as the Japanese invented many business theories and practices. They were very familiar with the practical application of those.
The CELTA? I think it's not worth taking the gamble but you should look at the individual requirements of the schools. Too many people have it these days.
