Re: Potential expat...
highly unlikely.If you live rurally, you could probably get by on the amount you could get on upwork as an HTML-jockey
you have zillions of indians and pakistanis who are full stack devs to compete with who know their stuff and will work for $5/hr

Not to offend anyone, it's a legitimate question.

FORGET PC
Being white in Cambodia makes the dif between a good teaching job and a very low paying one
being white in Aisa is VERY important and white is perceived as better and envied

youre going to want at least a few grand in order to get yourself set up with an apartment etc and have at least a small cushion for emergenciesNotthereyet wrote:Not much Jamie, still haven't figured it out.

people do come over with less and still make it work, but all depends on what youre going to do for income
otherwise it will end up being a short trip

Kind of irrelevant. I mentioned soldering skills and tech repair. Like component level hardware diagnostics and repair, not coding. But thanks anyways.frank lee bent wrote:highly unlikely.If you live rurally, you could probably get by on the amount you could get on upwork as an HTML-jockey
