My husband and I (currently in the US) are planning on moving to Gdynia for 2 years or so with the hope of having time to travel around Europe a little. My entire family lives there, and I am fluent (speaking, not so good at writing) in Polish. I also obtained proof of Polish citizenship last time I was there, and am planning on getting my EU passport when we move.

We have no problem working as teachers, but I was wondering what other job prospects there might be for us. I currently manage a small business and have a BA in History. My husband is learning Polish and will have a Masters Degree in English, he has worked in university administration for five years.

Any thoughts?

Agata710: but I was wondering what other job prospects there might be for us. For you... If you improve your writing skills in Polish then I think pretty much the same as in the USA but your husband will rather have serious problems to find anything else than teaching English.

OK, thanks for the input. I figured as much, but wanted to check anyway. Teaching would be good for us in some ways, but you never know..if we decide to stay I'd probably want a better job. Thanks!

Will your husband have to get a karta pobytu to stay here even though he's married to you, a Polish citizen? Who knows? This opens up a new can of worms. If you're curious about teaching English in Poland, you should visit. www.eslcafe.com and check the forums on Poland. And regardless of your husband's qualifications and experience, a lot of the better schools will want him to have a CELTA, because teaching English here to Polish students is a completely different ball game. CELTA will open more doors for him if he chooses to go down that road.

BTW, I live and teach in Gdansk. I love this place.
