I do not like lying but I do think it is important to state how I support myself appropriately. How would I describe how I get my income. I will work as a teacher in China however at the moment I am living in Cambodia and not working. My primary income does not come from work. When my father died I started receiving a monthly income which I will continue to receive until I either get married or start earning a substantial salary. As I am living in Cambodia the amount I receive which is 1400 puts me above 60% of what local Cambodian earn. I know teachers here rarely earn more than 1000.
Seeing that I do not receive my primary income from working I am guessing that it is probably not ideal to be saying I am a teacher. I am curious how else I could be explaining my profession.
If I were in school I would state I were a student. If I am on a job I would state the job that pays my primary income. If i were retired I would state retired. Should I be stating my profession as a Trustfund baby or something along that lines?

legacy income?

Nooooo,,NEVER give out that information..as your vocation
is teaching I would use that alone.

There are all types of teachers. You could put what subjects you teach on to make things interesting?

You say it yourself:
"I am...not working...If I were in school I would state I were a student. If I am on a job I would state the job...If i were retired I would state retired. "

You're unemployed.


IMO no.
But I wouldn't want to put a target on my back.
Personally, I would avoid giving (relative) strangers in a foreign country the idea that my family may have a lot of money.

Personally, if I were to date while unemployed, and they asked questions about my income or how I could afford to date them, I might tell them I had savings/investment income, but I would steer the conversation more towards what I'm doing to change my unemployed status and future goals in that regard.

Might be a cultural difference, but if my date(s) were asking me extremely specific questions regarding exactly where my money came from and how much?
I wouldn't date them.

You're on a sabbatical.

I have "Medical" down as my profession, this is because i work within the medical FIELD. I do not state which section.
Likewise, you could state EDUCATION.
