You make some good points as well, I also think that it is very silly that gulf countries will require a masters degree to teach. In some places the students who you would be teaching aren't that mature at all. They are very slow to grow up and make you feel that you would have been better off getting trained in nursery care. These days the salaries are going down and maybe in a few years people will find that the gulf pay isn't as good as they would have liked it.
