I would say with a TEFL if will be easier. Most places I checked with before I came to China wanted a degree. If you are that concerned BUY a degree online. Instant BA or BS in your chosen field. $29.99 plus shipping and handling. No worries. If you want to make MORE $$$rmb then buy an MBA or PHD. You get to the next level with a higher degree.
Just make sure to bring it with you when you come over. |

I can't help but wonder about the mental status of a forum member who, in one post, encourages prospective teachers to apply to Guanzhou Normal University alongside him for jobs (as the university is being run very well now) and then, a few days later, encourages prospective teachers to purchase fake degrees in order to do it.
I guess no one from Guanzhou Normal University reads Dave's ESL Cafe or maybe Jeff (or is it "Dr." Jeff) is convinced that they simply don't care.

You should be able to get something. When I was teaching at a summer school last summer there were 2 people there from the UK who had no Degree or TEFL. They were about to do their last year at Uni and were there just for the summer. |

Yeah, but Cujo, for $549.00 you get everything: a PhD in any chosen field (including medicine), official transcripts, a certificate of excellence and an official education verification letter! For an additional $75.00 you can select your graduation date and (this is the very best part) for an additional $75.00 you can graduate Summa Cum Laude (with a 3.9 - 4.0 GPA).
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm excited.
The only thing is, what are the chances that someone from one's place of employment may decide to do a search on Belmont University? Oh, wait, I just read...when you purchase one of their degrees you also receive the name of one of their "law school graduates" in the rare event you should run into any difficulties in the future. That's a relief.

PS. Darkchild - you need a degree to teach in China legally. That said, there are ways of doing it illegally and many do (obviously). |

I earned my 2 degrees the old fashioned way - went to college, went to univeristy.
But the truth is the guy said he "almost" had his degree, so wtf, buy one. | |
