Hello all
As I've mentioned before I'm graduating with a degree in economics this coming May and hoping to spend a year teaching in China before... whatever is next, be it more school, a career, or another year in China! I'm hoping to live/teach in a large southern city that I can skateboard in year round, as this is a big part of how I spend my free time. I've heard suggestions for Shanghai and Shenzhen, so those are currently my areas of interest.

Ok, now that the mandatory background info is out of the way, my question: If I came with a friend or two how difficult would it be for us to find jobs in the same institution, or at least the same area? A few of my pals have been getting increasingly interested in China as I've researched it and have recently started leaning towards coming as well. I think it'd be good fun, but I'm uncertain how we could arrange this. They will obviously be receiving their bachelors this May as well.

Thanks for any feedback!

any school with more than one opening will hire you and your friend(s). in general, schools dont really care who you come with, they just want someone to fill the position. plenty of those around. just have a look.

Shanghai does get pretty cold in the winter.
