Doomer in Myanmar

>That mid 20s doomer who joins the Peace Corps looking for meaning in life

I'm heading out to Myanmar tomorrow brobots. I won't be back until April 2021. I'll be teaching English to middle and high school age students. What am I in for?

Are you planning on diversifying Myanmar's gene pool?

Perhaps. We'll see what happens.

How difficult was it to get that opportunity? Also don't forget to redpill a little kid

best of luck op.
do some cool shit and have some whacky adventures out there m8

Dont get your head cut off or die of some shit disease

Let's see 300 a month to be sent to some shit hole country that nothing you do there will help pushing 2 years of your life away for what maybe 300 bucks a month? Have it all star

The process of applying includes the application itself, a self-reported medical history form, and then waiting to see if your application has been put "under consideration," which means you will get interviewed. From there, you have to submit three references, one of which can be a personal friend, and then schedule a Skype interview with one of their interviewers. Mine lasted over two hours in total, but that may have been because I rambled a lot.

From there, you either get selected or you don't. The wait to find out whether or not you got in can last up to about ten weeks. I waited over 7 weeks. Once I was accepted, this offer was pending until I completed the various medical and dental tasks Peace Corps requests including a basic physical and dental exam, among other things which can vary depending on your personal health history. I had to get fingerprinted and apply for a work visa and passport as well. All said and done, the process is grueling as fuck and can really test your patience. As for the odds of actually getting accepted from the pool of applicants, all I know is that your odds go up if your application is a general application, meaning you are open to serving in any country you are deemed qualified for. If you apply to just one nation, your odds of getting in are lower, but you still have a shot.

You could have joined the military for 4 years in a skate ass job get actually paid and trained and get a free bachelor's degree its safer too fuck the peace corps lmao

Drink quinine?

We are paid a monthly stipend to live on and receive awesome medical care whenever we need it. We also get over $8k upon returning to the US after completing service and get other perks such as preference in hiring for government jobs and funding for graduate school. Rather do this than be a wagie working in American schools teaching snotty shitheads desu senpai.

He will prob get parasites too lol, OP stay away from the animals lots could carry rabies you dumb fuck

Have fun with it faggot

You're both a bunch of salty Sallys who probably jack it to cuck porn lol virgins

Advice: stay out of the western half of the country for the time being, at least until the state is finished with its genocide.

enjoy your malaria, cobras and tigers

I'll be watching on bestgore a Muslim cutting your throat, GL though

No just not a gullable faggot

Enjoy the Burmese cuties OP.

Do you know how to speak the language of the people there? Will you have internet access there?

We have a 10 week long pre-service training which involves language classes, not to mention the online lessons we have been sent over the last couple of months. I will have internet access most likely through mobile data providers over there or internet cafes depending on where I am ultimately placed within the country.

I applaud you, OP. Glad somebody's getting out of here. I hope you make good friends and come back with great stories.

What kind of information did you need for the application? Also, I really don't have that many friends or people who know me, who did you use for a reference?

You know, it's funny that so many people want to teach English in Southeast Asia. Funny because almost all the instructors there are actually college dropouts that just happened to finish their cake ass TESOL training. Any actual ESL instructor laughs at people that teach in SEA. The requirements to teach there are so low that they'll take any fucking moron who is white and is native to an English speaking country. Most people that teach there suffer from competent illiteracy. Just because you can speak a language doesn't mean you have the understanding of how to teach it. The vast majority of these morons can't describe the difference between a homonym and homograph.

Have fun with the hookers though, that's pretty much why everyone goes there. Get used to drinking every night.

Right on the money, thread can be closed now.

Myanmar looks down on teachers who drink, so take your stereotypes elsewhere, virgin. Jow Forums sounds like a good place for you.

Pretty much job history, what I majored in, GPA, activities in college, and also a motivation statement essay and a resume. I used two former job supervisors and a friend/former coworker for my references.

You're so full of shit it's hilarious. Please go to /trv/ plenty of the ESL instructors there will tell you the exact same thing. SEA is a fucking joke to teach in.

>Myanmar looks down on teachers who drink

M8, you're fucking lying your ass off right now. Don't act like you're not going there for the prostitutes.

"But I'm a real traveler, I wouldn't go to any escort locations even though it's widespread and known for its prostitution." "haha, drinking isn't even a thing there even though it's done by literally everyone and so will I, but you'll never know."
