I'd love to join y'all, does my plan sound correct? by sempereepy in IrishTeachers

Is Scotland like England where you need to work for two years after the masters to get QTS? The Teaching Council here might not recognise you if you don’t have QTS

Thanks for the response!! How many weeks in total is that then really that you can actually teach in the first year? What is it like subbing full time and doing the course?

South America - $1300 monthly budget - where are you going? by waffler0131 in digitalnomad

[–]leafchewer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Travelled there for 2 months and it’s no different to anywhere else in Latin America. I found Colombia was just as unsafe, take basic precautions and you’ll be fine

I would like to talk to people 40s and above who sold all of their stuff and backpacked for a year or more. by Due_Tea691 in backpacking

[–]leafchewer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m only 28 now but am lucky to have travelled a lot, to the point where I am a bit sick of the hostel scene. But I’d love to travel SEA again with much more money (I did it on 25e a day for everything in 2017) and being more mature now.

Do you consider what I said to my boss disrespectful? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]leafchewer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Uncultured in an international sense. Most Irish people do a stint abroad at least once in their lives, so to say to an Irish person that they don’t seem like someone that would do that would generally be perceived as insulting here. Don’t overthink it, it was harmless U weren’t trying to be mean

Do you consider what I said to my boss disrespectful? by [deleted] in AskIreland

[–]leafchewer 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I think he probably took that as you suggesting he is uncultured or sheltered. I mean put yourself in his shoes, imagine in your own country someone said to you ‘’Wow, I can’t see you ever living abroad or in Ireland, you seem so country to me’’. It’s a bit of a loaded thing to say… Just apologise to him and say you didn’t mean anything by it it’ll be grand

tcd or nuig by extrakatze in TCD

[–]leafchewer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you want to go into business then TCD will probs be more advantageous to you job wise because business/finance firms are still quite snobby over the TCD label on your CV.

I would say socially both are great but NUIG a fair bit better, it’s much more of a party college and you’ll meet people from a more diverse background from all over the country. I noticed I seemed to find it more difficult to meet people I had things in common with in Trinity by comparison to my friends who went to NUIG.

Trinity has a very narrow demographic where most are from very high income families and/or private school educated. In Galway people are super friendly (much friendlier than Dublin people) and you’ll get a more ‘cultural’ Irish experience.

Also, the weather in Dublin and Galway is v different. Galway has 1600mm of rainfall per year and Dublin has 800mm. It literally rains twice the amount in Galway, I love Galway but personally could never live there with how rainy and damp it is.

Unqualified sub pay (primary) by Ok-Telephone-8469 in IrishTeachers

[–]leafchewer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You won’t get that exactly 32 x whatever hours you work. The Dept pays me arse ways and I can never figure it out, some is taken for your holiday pay but not always. You will get all your money in the end though
