Work / What jobs pay 10,000 zlotych per month? and Where can i find one? :o) [101]

One problem i have seen when natives come here, is that they can easily afford partying every night. Whether they are great teachers or not, they get sucked into the trap of thinking that this is a holiday, not a serious job. Kraków being the city it is, i was well suckered into the lifestyle of parties every night of the week, being as social as i could be. But that didnt pay my bills, and when i stopped using money from investments back home, i soon realised what a fecked up mind-set i had.

The work is out there for people who want to do it. The problem most teachers have is they don't treat the profession as a profession. Turn up to classes hung-over and unprepared and you won't be earning a decent salary. Be reliable and consistant and you'll fairly soon find that you're turning down more work than you're accepting.

Very true, when i started teaching, it was a means to an end. I didn't tap the full potential. When i gave up drinking it gave me lots of extra free time and i had a new attitude towards it. Treat it like a profession and you will reap the rewards.

Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

The only Doctor i know is a department manager who after being in the service for 20 years or so earn 7500pln. Misiek, i think ur pulling figure out of the air.

If being a doctor was such a well paid job, why would they top up their wages with working privately?

Work / Salary expectations in Poland [373]

In the finance department, but I am native Dutch-speaking, which is also the main reason why they need me.

I can guess Shell...

Travel / Poland in photo riddles [3134]

Example: lobster and oysters.

both are sea animals, which have filters to seperate the mud and salt.

Carp yes do taste not so good, they are quite fleshy, but their flesh does taste rotten compared with over fresh water fish.

There is a reason why Trout and Salmon are more highly valued.

To clean the dirt from there bodies. Carp like to scour the bottom of the lake for their food, so by putting the in the bath for a few days, it stops the fish tasting like dirt.
