  Asalamualaikum warahmatullahi wabarakaatuh,

I am asking a few people around about a concern of mine. I have the intention
of making Hijrah to Saudi inshaAllah, and Allah alone knows best exactly how
and when and if this is going to unfold. Anyhow, I wanted to know a couple of
things relating to degrees and employment in Saudi, and this will probably
best be answered by Muslims already there in the country...

What type of and how many (good) job opportunities would there be for:

1) a BA from an Ivy League college (major is history/religion related)?
2) also related to the above question, which would be better (in terms of job
availability), a minor in a science subject or English?
3) how much can a MA/PhD help?
4) all these questions are directed towards teaching positions obviously, and
i was also wondering if teaching experience is required by most employers
there?

barakAllahu feekum
