Complete tosh as others have pointed out. I teach Law and Industrial Psychology in English. I rarely use Chinese in class and I am certainly far from fluent anyway. Chinese speaking/writing ability is not part of the criteria for my job.

Your degree and "lab experience" are absolutely meaningless.

You can get a job as a language teacher. You don't have the qualifications for the others in China. Unless you are fluent in Chinese, then you have no real chance of any such non-language related job.

Master degree in an "advanced field" .... so why not get a proper job in your own country?


As usual, you are pontificating on matters about which you know little. I was offered a position by a first-tier university in Beijing teaching a substantive subject (which I eventually decided not to accept), and my Chinese is very far from fluent - something I made abundantly clear during the recruitment process.

Simply because you are unable to get 'a non-language job', does not mean that others with superior qualifications and experience cannot either. As to your "..... so why not get a proper job in your own country?" retort, some of us may have broader horizons and windows of opportunity than merely staying in China or going 'home'.


Sounds to me like you have some ego issues that you seem to need to reply to someone in this manner. Kind of funny actually.

Offered just a great job and yet you didn't take it - I think we all know why.

Liar - let's check a dictionary


Seems like you are the one with ego or perhaps self-esteem issues. Where did I say it was a 'great job'? First tier universities in China mostly offer chicken sh*t salaries (to laowai anyway), and this was no exception. I had in any event decided that leaving China was long overdue - not that it is any concern of yours. Your infantile abuse is of no consequence to me whatsoever. Enjoy your Macca D job in China.
