you would probably have to apply for a license here - Taiwan requirements probably not teh same as in US - you might need additional schooling?
2 :
you may need further US education here, as the US pharmast needs US university education, and then local work experience. You knowlege and experience of taiwan drugs (some chinese and some european drugs) are different from those pharmacists here.

What are some summer taiwan programs for high school students?


What are some summer taiwan programs for high school students?
I am in Chinese 3 right now, but I am learning traditional characters. The jump from Chinese 3 to Chinese 4 is huge at my high school because only native speakers take Chinese 4, and I am not one. I wanted to do a summer program abroad in Taiwan since they write and read in traditional characters there. What programs are available in Taiwan where I could stay there during the summer and develop my language skills?

Check and see if you can pay to attend some university summer camp programs for Chinese immersion... try researching the NTU (National Taiwan University) program in Taipei. You can also look into Providence University and Dong Hai University in Taichung, and Chen-Gong University in Tainan. Those are the reputable universities I am aware of, perhaps WNL is aware of a reputable one in Hualien...

I'm a senior in high school and did a summer internship at the National Chiao Tung University. I'm a native speaker, and about half literate, and I feel that the internship wasn't really the best place to develop language skills. This had a lot to do with the environment; after all, everyone there was busy and didn't have time to teach me. I think your best bet is to go with other students your age. Most Taiwanese friends I know have attended the Expatriate Youth Taiwan Summer Camp [Love Boat] at some point or another. Mostly, they just keep a bunch of teenagers together and tour the island. It doesn't exactly include classes, but when you're out on the streets shopping and interacting with native Taiwanese, it helps a lot with conversation and listening.

programs are there to teach english in Taiwan over the summer?


programs are there to teach english in Taiwan over the summer?
I am currently a college student in New York and I am interested in going to Taiwan to teach English with some sort of summer program. I am half Chinese and have know basic Chinese where i can carry short conversation. I would like to become a teacher, so i think this type of experience would be beneficial. I was just wondering if anybody knew any programs out there that do this type of summer program. I am not looking for college credit but if it is available it would be great!

How do you know if you were placed on the waiting list for AID Summer 2011 in Taiwan?

How do you know if you were placed on the waiting list for AID Summer 2011 in Taiwan?
I received a rejection letter from the AID Summer 2011 program, but I know there is a waiting list in case someone who was originally admitted suddenly cannot do the program anymore. Would the status on the "admission" page say "waitlisted"? Or would it say "reject" and then they would choose who to waitlist? AID Summer is a month-long summer program where student volunteers (usually high school students but also college students) teach English to underprivileged kids in Taiwan.

Hi, I'm sorry to hear that you were not accepted this year into the program. One of my friends last year signed up and was sent an email notifying that he was rejected. Therefore, I believe that it is safe to assume that you were not wait listed. However, don't lose hope! try again next year :)

why? do you speak enough chinese to enter college? More like, do you read enough chinese to find out about colleges in Taiwan? If you don't, just give it up.
2 :
why do you want to study there? the degree you get in a taiwanese college is not recognised in many places. also, college in taiwan is pretty strange. they even have a faculty for magic. !?!?!?!?!?! uhh, yeah, it's just strange. i dont think the degree in magic would brighten the prospects of getting a magic gig at a club or something.
3 :
You could take up a job at places that teach english (marking work, doing something that's part time) there are loads of language learning centers aimed at people from 3~80 (HUGE market), and they would all like to boast that they've got the most foreign teachers, like Kojen for example. You could always take a student loan and pay it back when you're earning money, the living costs in Taiwan are extremely low compared to the UK, and medical schools, being the most expensive, doesn't charge more than 6000US a year.

I would guess IKEA in Taiwan as they import scandinavian food and sell it on their stores.
