Work / Advice on Teaching English in Poland [709]
No and I know what I am talking about. I was once on holiday and was spending a few nights in Warsaw. I was bored so decided to go for an interview for a position as an English Language teacher in a private school in Warsaw. I can not tell you the name of the school for obvious reasons but I think it was called Angloschool on Popieluszki 9! A nice drive out and a nice chat over a cup of coffee. That evening on my return I went out with the husband of the Polish lady who is out mutual friend. Towards his car he asks me "what did you do today" My answer, "I went for a job interview at Angloschool". He asks "and how much did they offer you in return for your services?". I can not remember the rate of pay, it was about six years ago now but when I told him he laughed and said, "you know what, my mobile phone bill is more than that per month. You will just be sitting at home drinking beer and eating peanuts!" I think that being an English Language teacher must be the most degrading jobs there is, besides being a security guard, that is.
Thanks for your pointless and worthless contribution.
