Masters Degree Seeking Good One Year Job
Name: Michael Oviedo     E-mail: m-oviedo@philosophy.tamu.edu    6/6/2008
 

Preferably, I would like to teach in a larger city which is more associated with business since my academic interests include philosophy of law and business ethics; however, I will not turn down a good opportunity elsewhere if one presents itself. My only stipulation is that Mandarin is commonly spoken. I know, for instance, there are areas where other dialects are prevalent. Since I have studied Mandarin in the past and endeavor to continue my studies, I desire that my placement location be conducive geographically to this goal.
