I have been thinking of taking a break from consulting for a while and go teach in Africa (excluding South Africa). I do have offers from some schools in Africa to teach civil/mining engineering. I was wondering if it is a good idea for me to give up my secured consulting job here in the States and go over to Africa to teach! Even though, the remuneration offered by the schools is good compared to the living standards over there, it is still about 45% of what I make as a consultant here in the States and I am not sure if I could augment my salary by doing some part-time consulting work. I am both excited and confused about this offer. I would welcome any suggestions.
