I have recently been offered a contract with the Ministry of Education. The salary is approx S$3,000 (I have 1 year experience). I would be teaching secondary school.
I am Canadian born and educated (Bachelor of Education), but I have spent my first year teaching full time in the UK. I have been offered a second year at my current school. I am not thrilled with the prospects of another year at this school, notably because it will be closing the year after next, and the school atmosphere is substandard. However, the main reason I would remain at this school is for the sake of my CV - First two years of employment, full time, same location - in the interest of future employment
However, for various reasons I am desirous to move to Singapore. I am young, debt free, adaptable, without dependents and I do not require lavish livings. I am more than willing to live in the HDB flats (and from my research don't expect much else).
Any opinions on the impact this could have on my future career, advice, warnings on taking this position? I am conflicted and do not have much time to mull this over, hence the forum post. Will a young, outgoing, adventurous Canadian, without dependents survive financially?
