Here's my expert ranking of travelers/expats by their source of income.
This is not a ranking of the AMOUNT of income, but how likable the people are based on their source of income.
High Tier - Generally great people you want to meet
>Free lancers - Usually people offering some kind of digital service, generally free-spirited but still grounded in economic reality, the best kind of people to hang out with generally IMO. Downside is many suffer from inconsistent income and have to megabudget travel.
>"I just took some time off" - People who saved money to travel, are on PTO, taking time off, etc. Generally all around great people, really cherish traveling and meeting people, great vibes, normal and sociable. Downside is they don't travel for very long before returning to wageslavery. Easiest girls to bang too.
>Entreprenuers - Usually people who make a few thousand a month on some online business and escaped their 9-5 job. General chill, sociable people who just wanna experience life, often very open to going anywhere and doing anything
1/3
Ape Out Shirt $21.68 |
Mid Tier - Okay people, mixed bag
>Remote programmers/coders - On the rise, generally okay people, often mildly autistic, usually friendly and just wanna have a good time outside of the few hours they work a day. High income and no financial stress.
>Remote general workers - General stuff people do at a white collar job but remote, mixed bag of people, some work their entire 9-5+ and just try to enjoy the country they're in after hours and on the weekend. Currently found flooding mexico city, nothing wrong with these types but generally boring and mundane people who wanted to escape and not necessarily travel.
Low Tier - Meh people
>Some kind of NGO/volunteer - They generally stick to their own, usually wrapped up in their project, will tell you all about their cause unprompted and suggest you donate
>Social Media influencers - People with a youtube/IG following which is enough to make them some consistent income. Generally rare, the few I've met are mostly insufferable. Hanging out with someone who documents and records everything that might be good posting material ruins the experience. I'm sure there's exceptions but seems like they became influencers to travel, but really they travel because they're incluencers
>"Traders" - Usually men who are very insecure. I've met so many "traders" and any time we got into details, it's apparent that they don't actually make an income trading, they never even withdraw money from their stock/crypto account. Fairly normal people beyond the trader bullshit. In the recent crash, these types of finally shut the frick up lmao. I have yet to meet a "trader" who makes an income trading.
(2/3)
Shit Tier - Better to not talk to these people
>Online teachers - Usually people teaching english to asian students via some company, making $12/hour or some shit. May be fine for a 20 year olds getting their feet wet, but because it's the easiest online job one can get, it attracts the most desperate and low-skill people who usually just wanna coom somewhere in SEA.
>"Wantreprenuers" - Bro, I'm taking this dropshipping course and bro, affiliate links and bro, this new crypto project. People who are in reality traveling on their small savings but desperately trying to make it while falling for every scam in the book. Can be endearing, for most it's a phase, hopefully.
>"Wanna be influencers" - Everything bad about social media influencers, except in addition, they make no money, LMAO
>Landlords - Too bad most of these guys are boomers cringe sexpats, but I cannot disrespect the financial setup they have, great and consistent income with almost no effort.
>US Military - Do I really need to elaborate?
Consider Suicide Tier - Avoid eye contact
>Begpackers - Get a job, dumbass
>ESL Teachers in Asia - People who physically teach classes in East or SEA, almost always some coomer who took this job as their easiest path to cooming in asia. Objectively the bottom of all expats, shit income, no location independence, and usually some mid-low tier city. Possibly the bottom of human existence.
Thoughts? Share your rankings 3/3
cope harder. you probably don't meet successful crypto traders because you don't go to expensive places. also I don't tell anyone because I don't want to get robbed. when a thirdie sees a white nerdy guy talk about crypto their eyes light up because they just know
Even if you are in fact a successful crypto trader, you have to admit that 99% of traders are completely full of shit?
Most non-autists are bullrun tourists who bought relatively close to the top, yes. But SighSee in particular is filled with people who bought BTC before 2013 and ETH before 2017, because threads about them were being spammed across several boards by believers. Saying you trade for a living, which they do from time to time, sounds a lot more professional than saying you’ve been sitting idle on a pile of magic internet money for 5-10 years and withdraw a little bit here and there
OP you neglected to mention contract workers who work some amount of the year (often abroad) and then travel the rest. Doesn't need to be defense contractors, though I do reckon they are the most based seeing as I am one.
if dubs your judgment will decide whether I quit my job tomorrow
Haven't come across any, possibly the same as "I just took some time off" in high tier.
If your job is easy money, and you got nothing better on the table, keep it. At least your not a english teacher lmao
thank you op, shame about no digits but i'll keep job anyways
>frogshit
verbena and alerted
Online teachers is a lot broader IMO. I met a lot of women that got fed up with their bullshit job and teach online a couple hours a week to support their traveling. Fairly common
another asian incel thread
seethe more
>one item on list about ESL
>ESL teacher enraged and out in full force
Lmao, go ahead and tell everyone where you think ESL teachers rank
Nope, not a teacher, but I can spot a seething ricel who resents white privilege.
Post hands or just admit it.
>Going this hard to defend ESL teachers
Post ESL paystubs
Post hands ricel.
did the ESL teacher frick your gf in front of you? or did you found out later? curious
>Being this insecure about your job
You really seem miserable dude, no one cares that you teach english
I am a NEET in the USA, but been to Asia and met many people.
and if no one cares why make multiple threads about it and spam it.
last (you) for this thread
Clearly no one cares except ESL teachers who are absolutely seething LMAO
Notice how none of the other jobs that were shit on came out in defense mode
>I am a NEET in the USA
This is one step away from being a ESL teacher
shut the frick up wagie
you again used the same photo from last thread
you are obviously obsessed and seething hard.
did an ESL teacher frick your gf while you were traveling or something? let it out, tell us the story
this
>"no only losers come to SEA and frick women that were meant for me!!!!!!"
You millenial coomers are obsessed with Asian men and they don't even think of you at all. That's the joke that's why it's so funny like no Asian man has ever thought of you even one time
>he even used the same photo from his other bait thread
Wrong, I wrote confidential on this on this one
Post hands, ricel.
Why list physical ESL teachers? They're not travelers.
And the "took some time off" don't even have an income but they're ranked at the top of this list.
I doubt OP actually travels. He's a student on summer break and making up a list based on whatever forums he inhabits.
Expats and travelers
It's not a ranking of income, it's ranking of the quality of people you meet when traveling based on their source of income when traveling
Post hands or you're just a bitter ricel.
OP clearly is a juvenile troll but holy frick are ESL teachers absolutely seething from low quality bait, you guys are fricking miserable
Post hands, ricel.
seething ESL monkey
Where's the timestamp, you fricking newbie?
Post hands, ricel.
here you go. show this to your diseased prostitutes
make more than you smelly ESL monkey
You live in your parents basement and work with your hands. Your life choices are worse than those of ESL teachers.
I dont fly across the planet to make peanuts frick doseased prostitutes and brag about it on trv
why dont you post your tiny ESL incel hands
What type of job do you have? It looks shitty, to be honest.
You can't afford to have your own apartment?
Is that because you save up to travel for a couple of weeks every year?
Do you have a girlfriend? Does she like to hold your hands?
look at the sidebar that should give you a hint. I live cheap and invest the money to retire early, something a high time preference ESinceL wouldnt understand.
You live in your parents basement. It's obvious from the decor and storage spaces. You are bitter that others are enjoying their lives while you waste away.
I'm not an ESL teacher. To be honest, I thought this KHV was a ricel jealous of white privilege. I was only half right though. He's a day laborer jealous of higher education and resentful of all the opportunities he missed in life.
>Higher education
>ESL teacher
You know walmart workers make more than ESL teachers right?
Please don't actually have a nice day, OP. I know your life is shit but at least you make more than Walmart workers. That's what you've aspired to your entire life, right?
>college moron is brainwashed to think he has white privilege, only way he uses it is to travel once a year to frick and worship diseased prostitutes
You've already thought about this, but don't take out life insurance. True, you might die in a chicken coop building "accident". And true, the policy would help your family more than you ever could. You would be a hero - at your funeral, they would talk about all the potential you had, and your tragic loss. Lots of people would attend your funeral. Your somewhat-youthful photo is how you would be remembered.
But you worked so hard your whole life to earn more than Walmart wages! You went to college and dropped out! You moved home so you can save money to visit Mexico every year. Please don't die young and help your family and be remembered as a hero. Surely you are happy with your life and want to keep doing what you're doing
forever
alone.
>What type of job do you have?
Not hand guy but does it matter? Anything is better than a ESL teacher lmao
Can you post your ESL hands and paystub?
>thinkpad
>linux
>brave
good to see another SighSee expat over here in SighSee
I'll spare you the Stallman but that better be Gentoo because he didn't mention that he uses Arch.
Still no time stamp. Post hands, ricel.
NO NO, PEOPLE WHO MAKE FUN OF ESL TEACHERS MUST BE ASIAN INCELS WHO ARE JEALOUS BECAUSE WE'RE ACTUALLY CHADS WHO STEAL THEIR ASIAN WOMEN
STOP BEING WHITE REEEE
Lots of people make fun of ESL teachers. Those who do it casually have better jobs and made better life choices. Those who do it like OP are bitter that they couldn't because they're Asian or never went to university.
If
is really OP, then he has a shit job and shares an apartment with roommates.
Are we taking a SighSee shitpost to be not casual? Everyone cringes at ESL teachers, this has been a thing since the beginning of travel forums. It's the working at walmart of travel jobs
Why do you have so many callouses? I lift weights and only have them on the top of my palms. Do you work construction or something?
That dry skin rash is pretty nasty too. Are you embarrassed about that?
>Why do you have manly hands?
>Are you embarrassed that you, a man, has manly hands?
KEK so this is the diseased prostitutes poster spamming threads 24/7
I would not shake your hand
Are people really pretending that teaching English abroad is a good job? Don't get me wrong, if you have limited options it can be a way out or a starting point into something else, but it's like the worse job you can get that requires a degree.
Exception for people who really want to become teachers ig
above high tier
is GIGACHAD TIER
>Neets who use wagecucks dollars to travel and frick b***hes
Never met a traveling NEET, I don't think they leave their homes, they just play vidya all day and jerk off
You have probably met plenty. NEETs and trustfund babies alike just lie about their source of income to avoid awkwardness
is this entire thread just a handful of tefl gays seething over an imaginary asian? You gays do realise that putting ESL teachers dead last is extremely accurate. All 'expats' would agree, even your fellow ESL teachers.
OP isn't Asian, he's either a step up or a step down from NEET, depending who you ask.
I'm OP, I work a remote tech job at at a generic san francisco startup
By my own ranking I'm in the mid-tier
Yeah this is a shitpost but I stand by my list based on my experiences
Everyone taking it well except ESL teachers lmao
>not listing diplomat and service passport holders
0.5/10
>working for a government
Lowest of the low.
You forgot the Below ESL teacher-tier aka people who spend their time abroad making autistic lists about what other foreigners are doing instead of enjoying the country they're actually in.
>implying the list makers actually leave their basements
Never met anyone who makes lists before so I cant rank them
You only hang out with losers?
No, it implies that list makers are afraid to be seen in public due to their comical appearance, after all they are closely related to journalists.
>OP goes to hostel
>sees every foreigner having fun
>sits in corner miserable
>starts making up what jobs they do and making a list on why they are bad
>they all leave to go have fun for the night except OP
>posts on 4chin
kek what a loser
Don't forget the part where he doesn't get laid and then seethes about "diseased prostitutes."
>incel loser diseased prostitute coomer goes to thread
>sees op having fun
>sits in corner miserable because he caught aids
>starts fantasizing about op and making a list on why they are bad
>op left to go have fun doesn't see incel seethe
>incel loser cries more on 4chin
kek what a loser
>OP shits on like 8 categories
>Only ESL teachers mad
The insecurity ITT is wild
most people just work regular jobs save up some money and travel for two weeks a year, most of the people on that list arent even on here are you moronic? You think vloggers and NGOs and shit are going to be on here?
>most people just work regular jobs save up some money and travel for two weeks a year
So most people on the list are on here, that's literally "I just took some time off" on high tier
Again, no one cares if you teach English and make less money than a Walmart worker, but the insecurity you guys are showing is unreal, just laugh it off and move on, that's what any person who's not massively insecure would do
ok anon they are all losers working for walmart wages, no even worse working lawn mower mexican wages
and yes 2 is a great sample size all ugly losers
based
I'm not every person ITT, but yeah I agree most of them are probably losers given the incentives. Imagine having a college education from a country with the strongest economy on earth and saying "im gonna go teach english for poverty wages so I can coom in asians"
Based indeed
Coomer=loser
What's with the zoomer closet gays on this board?
I agree all coomers aka grindr homos are utter losers.
Not OP but the average traveler who's just taking time off is chill and someone enjoyable to meet, so yeah makes sense.
I only met 2 english teachers in thailand, both were kinda weird and, let's say below average in looks, one was prematurely bald, idk how old he was but he had a buzzcut with a head shape that was not flattering, lmao.
They both had thai girlfriends
I mean just think about it, what compels a man to move to thailand and teach english for shitty pay? It's not the money, it's not the love for teaching, it's because they got no pussy at home and want to move somewhere they can get pussy, and teaching was the most low-effort way.
what is it about ESL that makes people seethe on this board?
It's either people jealous of others having freedom to travel and enjoy life or Asian male diaspora upset that women they think are "there's" with White men.
Living in a dumpy town in the fourth world isn't travelling you college moron. Look up the definition of travel
kek are you mad people are having fun and youre not?
It sounds like esl teachers are miserable, they are seething nonstop
I just want to set up small high precision small lot machine shop sthap it
i earn about 30k pounds doing tefl in asia. thats more than teachers in UK outside of london.
is it less than a walmart worker? i dont know. but how much money is a walmart worker left with per month after cost of living? cause i save half of my salary easily whilst living good.
however, i will concede that there are some degenerates and coomers and weirdo's but they arent the majority. except maybe in philipines but im not an old white boomer yet and so i havent been.
Depends, my brother is 18 and works at a grocery store at $16/hr, if he went full-time that would be like $2800/month
But you can't compare salaries across countries fairly. 30k pounds is probably on the higher end of ESL teachers, and your cost of living is probably low so maybe you're able to save a lot compared to someone with the same salary in the UK.
I mean if you enjoy teaching and you want to be a teacher then you seem to be in a decent place.
If you don't even like teaching and just wanted to coom in asia, then you're probably shooting yourself in the foot in terms of your long term career prospects
Esl doesn't think beyond the next diseased prostitute they can buy
thread with 18 posters 83 replies.
>ESL teachers crying about Asian men
Nobody in this thread (white or yellow) looks like either of those two chads.
Thanks OP, I was wondering how to explain to people that I don't work and have money without looking like a target. I'll just tell people I'm "taking time off to travel" and not mention I made it in crypto.
I'm not staying in hostels and don't drink so how should I meet other cool income source people?
>generally boring and mundane people who wanted to escape and not necessarily travel.
Literally me
I dodn't know english teachers were this insecure lol, but I'm seriously saddened at the state of SighSee. A few years ago before covid, this place was really pleasant. /misc/ was a mistake.
I thought this place was super fun in 2020.
How are online ESL teachers above in person ESL teachers?
Also, are you saying normies with their 2-4 week annual vacations are high tier?
>How are online ESL teachers above in person ESL teachers?
The type of person who takes an online ESL job is at least location independent, a lot of them are women, and the ratio of them that are normal people is much higher
In person ESL teachers are far moreso the permavirgin neckbeard types
>Also, are you saying normies with their 2-4 week annual vacations are high tier?
Yeah, normal people who wanna see the country and have a good time, also the women on their PTO are huge bawds
ITT
You have a serious insecurity problem if the only way to feel good about yourself is to pretend Asians (who you hate and are jealous of) are mad at you
Why is there one ESL teacher getting so butthurt in the thread? OP is speaking the truth. In the expat community nobody respects them. Even Mutungu the African exchange student from Muguwambaland gets more respect (though not by much).
>expat community
lol possibly the only group lower on the social totempole than english teachers
Expat community includes teachers you moron.
Some will want to befriend you and spend time languishingin your aura, exchanging jokes and good feelings, others will be outraged you’re so happy and will try to pollute your energy with negativity. Many times in my own life I’ve been accused of being “too energetic” or “so lively” or questioned pretentiously “are you high?” or “why are you so happy?” by people who were attracted to my positive mind state for the wrong reasons rather than the right, with jealousy rather than enthusiasm.There is a sizeable demographic of society permeating class boundaries who have become perfectly comfortable with misery and they perpetuate it, often, unknowingly, as a matter of habit. They are payday loan borrowers, college teachers and yacht owners. Avoid these people at all costs and more importantly, avoid being that person yourself.
>yacht owners
Can anyone attest to this?
I've been told of one yacht owner by a friend (mentally ill with bipolar disorder), I new an old colleague who owned a boat (nothing wrong with him, although he was vegan), and I have a friend who really wants to own a boat (he's a college dropout who now works as a servant on a yacht)
Liveaboards are popular with people who feel like they need to hide from something. You can easily get out of town if you want (assuming the thing runs). They're an easy way to bring your drugs with you when you travel. Marinas don't usually allow uninvited visitors. A lot are just single older guys with so money so you have the usual boomer-coomer behavior and other boat owners around you usually don't give a frick if you're into hookers and blow. There's a sizeable number of ex-felons and pedos since nobody protests as few families or children live on a boat in a harbor and the other people keep to themselves. There's a built in social scene if you want it. I'm surprised more cryptogays here aren't living the liveaboard dream.
I always get the most interesting insights from you anons. Never would've considered pedos, those associated with the drug trade, ex convicts, etc. to be hiding out on yachts, but it's somewhat obvious now. How do you know this?
My previous impression was that the infamous rich old white male, who doesn't have to live like the majority of society, takes to living on a boat, and is hated for doing so in, addition to his possible arrogance.
Cryptogays are depressed white males who still won't leave their rooms after making 8 figures
Coping Wagie thinks people with $50 million are depressed
