I'm considering living in Scotland and the need for some information (I've never been). How are the teaching jobs there?
I considering moving to Europe with my son. "originally decided to move to Spain after getting my degree, but I think you should choose a country speaking English, it will be difficult for him to learn a new language again. I currently study in linguistics with a concentration in Spanish, but speak and understand a decent amount of Portugal, too. I'm American (of mixed ancestry - mostly Korean and Irish Part of my father, I believe). Anyway, I do not know yet about going to graduate school, but I will finish my degree soon, so I'm thinking maybe I could teach at least high school. Is it difficult to obtain a work visa? One more thing: What are your views on Americans? Just curious. Always ask non-Americans. Anyway, any feedback is greatly appreciated. Thanks, Chrisy Wilson
You would be welcomed with open arms in Scotland! We are a very friendly and hospitable career. Yes, there are some "not so nice" areas here - but that applies everywhere, not only in Scotland. I do not know much about the situation of teaching, but I suppose it would have no trouble finding employment, especially with their qualifications. Good luck to you and your wee boy! EDIT: ANGEL: That's a bit rich coming from you! Pot, kettle and black springs directly to mind! I have read some of your posts and for some reason, you are very racist toward Scots. Maybe you did wrong in the past - not to blame the whole damn a NATION!
