Job Stuff

For those of you on the edges of your seats to find out what I'll do next (ha!), I have decided that, at least for this school year, I will continue to teach English as a Foreign Language here in Naples. Beginning in September, I have two teaching positions, one at an international elementary school and another at the private school (for adults) where I worked last spring. At the latter, I will be taking on some office management and advertising responsibilities in addition to teaching some classes. This will give me a 7-hour day with a 3-hour break for lunch in the middle. I may choose to supplement with a few private lessons.

Although I have enjoyed working at the hostel this month, I believe for the long-term that teaching is the better. Not only is teaching more lucrative but it also promises some good experience (especially where I will be doing office management). Plus, a 14-hour night shift at the hostel doesn't necessarily fit with my sleep schedule and, with my boyfriend doing the same shift, I just think it is better for me to work at the hostel on a more irregular basis.

I am still exploring other business opportunities in my spare time and things are looking good to help my boss at the private school with a few weddings (his side business) coming up!
