About your other question, they (both my parents) probably could live off € 700,00 per month. It doesn't sound like much, but with the wages here it's very hard to put aside enough money to keep you going for years without a job (even with the low-ish cost of life here)
Maybe I should give him a Breaking Bad box set :)
OK: my only other thought is perhaps a bit odd: are there other manufacturing/ science based companies that are closing down/disintegrating? If so some part time work staying with them until they close and managing all the health and safety, asset disposal and equipment sales might be viable.
I know a chap who did that in and around the Black Country (Midlands industrial belt near Birmingham and Wolverhampton) in the UK in the 80s when all the foundries were closing down and being sold to Bihar in India. I have no direct experience of that myself.
Just out of curiosity, I get the vibe you don't consider the UK part of Europe, is this true?
Best of luck to all in this situation.
Thanks. I'm in that situation (kind of) though somewhat by choice.
Are there exams that teenagers have to take?
Do those exams include mathematics/science content?
Is there a market for 'coaches'? People who coach students in their home at an hourly rate?
Context: I'm a teacher in the UK where we have quite an industry in private tutoring. Needs patience, readiness to read the textbooks and think how to explain the content, and ability to work with teenagers (a skill set that successful parents may have mastered:)
My other thought was: how much do they actually need per month? Have they done a budget?
I'll be retiring sometime next year and my occupational pension isn't huge. I'll need to make around 7 to 8 thousand pounds on top of it. I have some plans to generate income around that figure while also having some time.
