Taiwan's Public Schools vs. Taiwan Cram Schools- Comparing The Jobs

Teachers rolling in the money- NOT :) Taiwan Public Schools vs Taiwan Cram Schools: The Money -   " I'm gonna get rich from teaching ,"  said no person with a brain ever.   Taiwan's Public Schools or the Taiwan Cram Schools won't be that much different when it comes to getting rich. The salary still can meet your needs. However,you won't exactly come home at night and use all your extra dollar bills as a spare blanket. The money is a great  question  when trying to decide between a Taiwan Public School job or a Taiwan Cram School job.    Most of the public schools jobs  normally start around 63,000 NT/month with an extra 5,000 NT/ month to go for housing.  You have to be at the public school from 8-4 in most cases.

I wanted to ...

5 Reasons Why I Joined The TIE Mastermind Group

Image
So, I recently decided to invest the time and money to join a Mastermind group. Many years ago, I read about Mastermind groups in one of Napoleon Hill's books, Think & Grow Rich. The idea to either start my own Mastermind  group, or participate in one, always intrigued me. I am playfully looking it as bootcamp for the mind.  The Mastermind group officially kicks off tomorrow night at 9 p.m., with our first group call on Zoom.  Here are five reasons  why I decided to do it. #1 Trust Although I live about three hours from Taipei by train, I have observed the actions of the group, Taipei Impact Entrepreneurs , over  the last year and a half or so. My instincts have been that everyone in the group is extremely friendly , professional, and supportive. I never would have joined if they did not have that opportunity to establish a strong sense of trust within the community that hey are jumpstarting.  # 2 Accountability   One of the things that helped per...
