Responses:

the company has a partnership with my school, so that kind of stuff is taken care of. - Hotkiss Apr 12, 14:09 42
- and in a related point, why in the eff isn't your school explaining to you what a horrible idea this is? - TFox Apr 12, 14:19 23
  - why is it really so horrible? -- nm - Hotkiss Apr 12, 14:20 22
    - the pay is on the lower end of what a pro/go ecuador site is suggesting is normal. - b. Apr 12, 14:26 6
      - here is why i would take a job in ecuador (or similar country): cause it paid enough that i could be banking a lot of money for when i came home - the 40 year old virgin Apr 12, 14:29 4
        
        based on what she's said, I think she'd be happy with basic living expenses being covered. - b. Apr 12, 14:32
        
        I could see taking it for the cultural experience because when else in your life are you going to do something like that. But not if I have to come - pmb Apr 12, 14:31 2
        
        If I were going to do it for the cultural experience I'd go for an NGO. At least I'd feel as if - loosilu Apr 12, 14:32 1
        
        I agree with this. (nm) - musubi Apr 12, 14:34
      - TOtally agreed with your IM. There are many opportunities like that. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 14:27
    - What other people have said - plus it might not provide you with the experience or contacts you'll need to make in order to further your career -- nm - Roger More Apr 12, 14:26 1
      - Note that I am a habitual understater, so when I say "it might not", I really mean "there's no chance" -- nm - Roger More Apr 12, 14:27
    - You are talking about taking a job at which it would take a decade to earn one year of the cost of your schooling. - TFox Apr 12, 14:22 5
      - (i might be being too harsh. it's possible your school doesn't require a lot of math classes?) -- nm - TFox Apr 12, 14:25
      - assuming you pay nothing for food, housing, or anything else. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 14:23 3
        
        right, just sock every precious peso or whatever the fuck in the Ecuadorian Sock Bank. -- nm - TFox Apr 12, 14:23 1
        
        "Ecuador Sock Bank is the sock we beat you with when you ask us for your money." -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 14:24 1
        
        or taxes, for that matter. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 14:23
    - It defies logic and common sense so immensely that we are aghast you're even considering it. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 14:22 1
      - (Yet, we do recognize that ... we shouldn't be as shocked as we are. Really.) -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 14:23
    - you really don't see why, even in Ecuador, $300/month is an awful awful salary? -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 12, 14:22 4
      - "A job that pays $350 and up a month for an 8 hour work day, is sufficient to cover your basic costs in Ecuador" -- (link) - Roger More Apr 12, 14:25 2
        
        which means, this job will not cover basic costs. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 14:26
        
        L63 (I love it.) -- nm - TFox Apr 12, 14:26
      - Yeah. You couldn't even rent pixie's box for that amount. -- nm - pmb Apr 12, 14:23
- that's not a job, that's volunteering. -- nm - b. Apr 12, 14:17 2
  - it involves a lot of flights back and forth to Miami. no luggage -- nm - the 40 year old virgin Apr 12, 14:18 1
    - Well she's too old to actually be sewing clothes at the nike factory, so it's probably managerial and involves beating the kids who try to nap. Main - pmb Apr 12, 14:20
- This is a punk'd, right? -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 14:15
- I hope $300/month is a typo -- nm - MDH Apr 12, 14:14 2
  - Well, I'm sure she didn't mean $3000 a month ... so what could the typo have been? -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 14:14 1
    - $3,000 a month is an ok salary. Nothing to move to friggin Ecuador over, but a living wage, at least. -- nm - TFox Apr 12, 14:15
- That's either a typo, or you're about to get tricked into being sold for prostitution in Eastern Europe. -- nm - TFox Apr 12, 14:12 1
  - and ST doesn't have Liam Neeson on hand to fix the situation -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 14:12
- should be ok. is that ... the salary? - loosilu Apr 12, 14:10 3
  - their arranged housing is $70/month, and foodstuffs can't be that bad, right? - Hotkiss Apr 12, 14:13 2
    - I don't doubt cost of living is cheap, but you're not even going to cover the airfare. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 14:16
    - Why in the diseased nutsack would you consider moving to Ecuador for sub-McDonald's money? -- nm - TFox Apr 12, 14:14
- $300 a month?! - the 40 year old virgin Apr 12, 14:10 4
  - There are dudes in the Sudan who would turn down $300 a month. -- nm - Reagen Apr 12, 14:15 1
    - ... and they're the slaves of the dudes who would have you shot if you offered them $300 a month -- nm - Beryllium Apr 12, 14:17
  - that's basically unpaid. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 14:10 1
    - ...which may explain the work permit situation. -- nm - loosilu Apr 12, 14:11
