It's not high-paying. And it's weird to teach ESL overseas at this point in your career.

1. It actually is high-paying, as it is an executive position. It is with a real, established school.
2. It is not weird. Tens of thousands of people do this as a career, people of all ages.

Well it's the plans you've discussed in the past, mostly, and the various claims you've made about your history that later turned out not to be true. For instance, I remember your claiming that you got accepted to Yale's PhD program for Egyptology or something like that, at the time you were also still claiming there was an inheritance if you got a doctorate.

Granted you claimed this at a weird time for a school to be making offers of admission, so I didn't believe it. You just stopped talking about it at some point, and no, this wasn't the program you later claimed people got you trolled out of.

I can buy that you got offers to teach ESL in multiple places, but it's the executive thing and 'important family' and such that stretches credibility.

It's the little details more than "things changing." It's not believable that a top school offered you admission at the time of year you claimed it did.
