I'm going to Singapore for the holidays, and to check out the job market there. Teaching English could be an option, I speak idiomatic American. Heck, I'd take almost anything there to get out of the Third World. Anybody know the Singapore scene?
I've never been to Singapore but from what I've read they don't hire many English teachers. (English is their official language after all). If you have a "third world" nationality it will be even tougher. Generally preference is given in the following order: American, Canadian, British, Irish, Australian, Kiwi, South African. If you don't have one of those passports you would probably need to find illegal work.
Yeah, a cousin does proofreader work there, but apparently there's a strong preference for permanent residents. The penalties for illegal work are quite stiff; I'm not that desperate. Well, I'll see what the territory's really like when I get there.
