There are two reasons that make
Vietnam become the destination for many foreigners, who like traveling and want
to make money. It is very easy to find a job as an English teacher in Vietnam
because of the very high demand in the country. And secondly, the subsistence
allowance is very low in Vietnam.
The country is the place where
the demand and supply can easily meet each other. Vietnamese students now tend
to learn English with foreign teachers rather than Vietnamese teachers.
Meanwhile, foreign teachers find Vietnamese students and their parents friendly
who can bring them stable income.
The hospitable land
Susan, an US teacher, said she
arrived in HCM City in October 2011 and stayed idle for one month only before
she got a job as an English teacher at a prestigious foreign language training
center.
She said frankly, that it was so
easy to find a job in Vietnam and that she did not have to spend too much time
and efforts to find the job.
Susan said that teaching English
is just a short term job which helps her earn money for the time being.
However, the monthly income of 1700 dollars a month from the job of English
teacher, Susan can live very well in Vietnam.
Andrea B, a US teacher at a big
English center, also said she can live well with the job of teaching English in
HCM City, and that she feels better with the life in HCM City than in South
Korea, though she has been staying in HCM City for eight months only.
The woman, recalling the days in
South Korea, said English teachers here were treated like robots and they were
always asked to work harder. Meanwhile, she feels more convenient and flexible
in Vietnam.
Michael Tatarski from the US,
admitted that he won’t easily find a teaching job in Europe, because everyone
can speak English there.
Therefore, he feels happy with
the job as an English teacher in HCM City with which he can earn 1300-1400
dollars a month, the salary he won’t get if he goes to a European country.
Most of polled foreign teachers
said they can earn from 800 dollars to over 2000 dollars a month from the job
of teaching English, depending on the number of teaching hours.
One of them affirmed that the
total income may be up to 2500 dollars a month, if she has more teaching hours.
She also said one of the reasons
that makes HCM City a favorite destination for many US people, is that while
they can earn much money, they only have to pay a little to cover the basic
needs of their lives, because everything is much cheaper in HCm City.
Rusty Massie from Virginia State
in the US said he came to HCM City in 2009 after spending six years teaching
English in Czech Republic, where he earned 1200-1400 dollars.
Here in HCM City he earns
1500-2000 dollars and he feels better than in Czech because everything is very
cheap in Vietnam, from house rent, meals to Internet service fee.
In fact, he can expect higher
income if he goes to China or South Korea, but he would also have to spend more
money because everything is very expensive in the countries.
