Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  I finally got a job.  I signed the contracts last night.  My only obstacle left is getting the job approved by MOM (Ministry of Manpower).  MOM is the government agency responsible for giving out work visas.  So if all goes well MOM will approve my job and give me a multiple year work visa.  Then I can start working.  We are hoping I will begin around August 15th.  MOM's job is to make sure that all immigrants are adding value to the community.  They don't want to let just anyone in to work at McDonald's.  Locals can easily do that job.  I got a job as an Assistant Manager of a Tony Buzan Learning Center.  It is a tuition center that tutors students who need extra help or just want to get ahead.  There are many tuition centers here in Singapore as education is taken very serious here.  Teachers are highly respected and almost all kids go to a tuition center.  In fact your grades in primary school determine which secondary school you can go to.  So the competition and the rewards or consequences of your schooling effort starts at a very young age unlike the US where things don't matter until high school.  So my job will be to help run a tuition center along with using my science teaching background to improve the science program of study.  I am very excited about the job and my new boss Buck (the owner) is very, very nice.  Last night Buck and his wife treated Ronna and I to a celebratory drink and snacks after the contract signing.  Well stay tuned and I will let you know soon about MOM's decision and anything else that comes up.
