Thinking of moving to Dubai/UAE post graduation:?

i'm sure you could.

one thing that is very popular is becoming a teacher in a middle eastern country (mostly international schools). the pay is amazing, very little tax and they treat you like a king. i know someone teaching economics in Kuwait earning 80K a year no tax on that, they bought him a nice car and his rent is paid for.

i meant are all uk graduated put in private schools?

Wow.

I've suddenly forgotten all the post-university plans I've been making over the past couple of years.

maths, im gunna be studying engineering this september. maybe even physics, but i'd rather teach maths.

ermm i imagine so, i don't know 100% about this but i know (of) 2 people doing this, one is a family friend and another is someone that my teacher knew, he was telling us how hes thinking about doing it soon.

im guessing if you want the top pay then yeah you'll be put in private schools.

I lived there between the years 2000 and December 2004 - I was really young at the time but it was really fun. I'll try to keep this short, but this is all I remember:

- Money is so, so damn easy
- Everything is so expensive
- English is incredibly widespread
- If you have a foreign passport, you would have been paid extra (not sure if this is the case thanks to Emiratisation)
- Very multicultural
- Can be very flashy. Look into other cities such as Abu Dhabi (I lived there for most of the time) or Sharjah - things may be slightly cheaper in the latter.
- There is always something to do!
- IT'S SO HOT DURING SUMMER GODDAMMIT. 50C is nothing out of the ordinary. 55C isn't uncommon either.
- Everything changes very fast. All of the above may have changed!
- Class-based racism is a thing. If you're Asian, you could face discrimination because of the labourers who are usually south Asian and thus lower class. Not always the case but be aware.

money

sun

and painfully conservative restrictions on all sorts of things

what more could yeh want.

as a male tho I could save up enough in 3-5 years to get a bit of the mortgage paid off

anyone know someone thats done it

For a short time and if you are below thirty Dubai is great. It is not as conservative as you think it is and you can get virtually everything that you think you can't get. Beer and spirits are freely available in bars. Wine is expensive. You can even get pork sausages in Waitrose. All apartments have air-conditioning. It is quite cheap to live there and you will have a great social life if you want one. If I was your age - I would be there in a shot

I'll be moving there 2019 so I hope it's good :P

god im gonna be permanently burnt!:P

what was your job:?

ah expensive..I want to save lots over there..is that possible:?

im thinking id have to forget pharmacy and try get a celta or something like so..quick teaching degree and teach in a private school as someone said

any ideas urself

me too

see yeh in dubai

first pints on me

I was still a kid at the time xD My dad was a journalist there.

It is possible to save but it depends on how much you spend vs how much you earn. The teaching idea sounds pretty good tbh!

Why do you type like that OP? Are you a pirate?

Very curious about this too. Any info about migrating OP?
