Finding a job in Cambodia; advice needed

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

Not uncommon to work for rice, beer and a dorm bed.

Your call OP.
You have never worked here so you aren't qualified to give advice. Working for rice? Get off the crack pipe.

Not sure when volunteering or working for low wages (or a stipend) became slavery - I'm confident the slavery survivors we work with would have been thrilled to be in a position to volunteer, or to receive a low wage, instead of being slaves.

I'm guessing you think you're going to trigger me with this nonsense, given the environment I work in. Good luck with that.

:lol:

Yea, fully accredited degrees from the richest and most powerful nation the earth has ever known are "scams." And this comes from a guy who barely ekes out a living in the Third World no less.

Thanks for the entertainment bud.

RULE offer a bachelor's degree in English, total 3-4 years, and an internationally-recognised (EU) Master's degree
Australia has Associate degrees

Your logic is ridiculous. Because a country is rich and powerful, it is incapable of scams? WMD ring any bells?

Try getting a job with an Associate degree. Even here. Meaningless. Like the foundation year they add on to degrees. Real countries do bachelor's degrees in 3 years except for engineering and one or two other fields. Adding on the fourth year to liberal arts degrees was a scam. If it takes you 4 years, you shouldn't be in university in the first place.

I'm doing OK, you need to stop listening to insane rednecks and bogans who couldn't make it here, even with state aid.

And you're here, eking out a living because...why? Because you were making it so good back home? LOL

In 20 years of teaching, never saw one foreign teacher get hired with an associate degree. Not one. And only accepted for Khmer interns, salaried staff have to have full degrees.
