In response to "the company has a partnership with my school, so that kind of stuff is taken care of." by Hotkiss

and in a related point, why in the eff isn't your school explaining to you what a horrible idea this is?

our local community colleges wouldn't endorse this.

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
