Can I live on this amount of money?

London is way more expensive than even Vancouver, though, so just the cost of getting around in London will eat that up. For comparison, I am told that "unqualified" teachers' salaries start at around £15,000. And that's if I can even GET it, with the anti-America prejudice being extended towards Canadians these days. Or maybe it's always been that way and my uncle just forgot to fill me in on that little detail before he died (over here). I mean, I know they hate Americans, but I didn't realise that even England thinks Canada is "America" just like the Americans themselves do! I guess I really get that more than some Canadians would, because being First Nations makes me an "American" Red Indian to these people, which then translate to "American" (because as we know, the tribes do tend to be the same tribes if you're from near the border) and thus the shitty treatment that I've been getting. I mean, when I was in the States and would say I was Micmac, they immediately treated me like a foreigner, which technically I was. Here, it's "that's an American." I guess I can't win for losing, not outside of Nova Scotia. I came here for a Math teaching job and got called unqualified because I showed up Red Indian. Which kept happening in the United States, that's why I chose London over New York for Math teacher shortage cities. I interviewed over the phone from back there, and was told that I was qualified equivalent to the A-level, then got here and showed up the wrong colour just like in the United States.
So I'll be LUCKY to get even £15,000 if I find anything AT ALL.
