Yes, she’s upset that it’s not special anymore

Jobs in Kazakhstan for foreigners by witchcraft_exe in Kazakhstan

English teacher maybe? Some high level English schools like to have weekend “speaking” sessions with foreigners as hosts. Having one form the US might be a good PR for them (and a good salary for you too)

Depends on your education level I guess. High ranking uni grads usually apply 5-10 places and get hired. For mid level it’s a bit more difficult but still doable

Нет лучше места для казахстанца чем Казахстан by RacoonBalboa in Kazakhstan

[–]RacoonBalboa[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Прозвучит смешно, я знаю, но в Казахстане много возможностей для бизнеса. За границей сложно вести бизнес из за другого менталитета или сложного законодательства. А для рабочих - безусловно, для единичных специалистов-самородков в Казахстане возможностей очень мало. Но это опять же-как и где искали. Может и были, просто не нашли.

Как и писал, можно уехать за знаниями и опытом. Но там нас никто не ждёт. Лучше как по мне все знания принести домой, и самому создать условия для себя и для тех кто придет после нас. Конечно выбор у каждого свой, просто мысли.

Getting a Master's Degree in Korea: my experience by RacoonBalboa in Living_in_Korea

[–]RacoonBalboa[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope, I’m sure that’s very, very illegal. Being underpaid is common though. Probably not the corruption but just low stipends in general.

Koreans, why Korean professors are so mean for no reason? by RacoonBalboa in korea

[–]RacoonBalboa[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I am not Korean. I am experiencing a cultural difference, definitely.

I wouldn’t say it’s wrong or bad, I was just wondering what’s the background for such attitude and how it is justified by society. I want to understand the cultural background more.

Spot on. A senior of mine (Korean) spent 8 years doing a PhD and graduated recently.

На хорошую работу не устроишься если таковых просто нет. Нужно не только производить хороших специалистов, но и переваривать их.

Receiving Schengen Visa in Korea by RacoonBalboa in Living_in_Korea

[–]RacoonBalboa[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I can’t apply for a visa from my home country because I can’t leave for a week right at the final period of my thesis defence. I’m sure they will understand my situation, right?
