Hello,

I'm Richard, a Ghanaian and planing on relocating to Cambodia soon.

I would love to inquire on how much foreigners teaching in Cambodia earns every month, at least, on the average.

Thank you

Peanuts! You will not make a fortune I would say unless you are working for a 1st world corporate you will remain at subsistence level

PS. Most Africans I know make 4ish an hour. If you're a PhD, you'll might be able to make 9.


I'm used to being poor, but I know my worth. Only work online overseas, but I'm unable to do anything due to...I'll explain in the email


KH is NOT the place to be. Fuck, bascially all educators in the world are fkn poor as hell


But I'm tired of moving after roaming the world


My professional fee is 25 an hour. Covid, wars, coups and all hells dusasters made the tables turn


I'll explain if you email. PS. I do this favor for free 🙏

@richardasamoah5831 350 usd? 700 if you are highly educated


Pls remember WP is 200 a year, VISA 189 and foreigners fees are applied to everything.

@richardasamoah5831 Hi If you are good and don't have too much of an accent you could try online at maybe 10usd ph. It does take sometime to build a profile and reputation and I am afraid you would starve waiting for it all to happen.


There is the school/college work however visa and recognised qualifications would be necessary, again that will be quite low until you build a reputation.


Are you in Cambodia now! I ahve seen this before in so many other countries and to subsidise the 1st 2 years or so people work in shops/supermarkets all over europe however the far east is much harder.


The only way you will make money is a contract with a 1st world company based in Cambodia, I have a friend in Vietnam who speaks Vietnamese/french/english/chinese who is in the education field and still struggles to get regular work.


Look before you leap as without planning the landing can be very hard.


Good luck whatever you do


Mark

@Bee Latomaeki thank you.

@markarmstrong75 Thanks once again.


No, I'm not in Cambodia now. I planned  moving to Cambodia by end of July, but considering the information gathered so far, I think I will have to give myself a little more time, then reconsider my options first.


So grateful for the answers you've provided me with.


Thanks
