TAKING MY FAMILY OVERSEAS...
Q.
I am an English teacher of 10 years standing with a wife and young family. We would both like to travel and live abroad for a while and my professional background does not pose a problem in terms of obtaining employment. However, it is a big step to up everything and move away for what will be a reasonably short-term project. Is there anything I can do to ensure that my family donīt suffer in the long term?

A.
I understand your concern. You might consider a teaching job in areas where they pay well and where, by local law, an indemnity or end of contract lump sum is paid. The Arabian Gulf and Brunei immediately come to mind as possibilities. You should also look into insurance policies for teachers overseas. There are some who offer special benefits to people in your position. I am sure if you research the job market well, it should be possible. Alternatively, a teaching charity or government organisation may well be able to guarantee you work back home or assistance until you get it, at the end of contract.
