[quote="windsorman1972]Teaching English in China is for young guys passing through, old guys who already have it, and then for morons and total losers (especially those with a history of mental problems). Which one are you?[/quote]

I Quote "Oh, but I can save half my salary and live for free and eat like a King, etc, etc. Where can you do that back home?" Hey, pathetic moron losers, successful people back home lose more money per month than you are saving and don't even notice it missing because they have real jobs, making real money with real lives"

Very Happy

This is by far the most ridiculous thing I've ever read on this forum. Whats a real job? do you think I care about the money people make back at home? Whats your Idea of a real life? White picket fence,2 kids, big house...etc. If you were drunk when you wrote this I'll understand Cool

thats the best you can do old timer? Pick up a typo. Look, I may not be the teacher you are but I dont have to be. I teach "cookie monsters blue book." My student enjoy singing and my crazy antics in class. I make a modest 8000rmbs a month and I'm really enjoying my time here. I'm not looking to start a flame war here it just seems like your passing jugment on people you dont really know. There are more than three kinds of teachers here in China. Myself, I just wanted to escape the cold winters and try something new and it happened to work out really well for me. Cheers.

I too, have had a love/hate relationship with China. I'm still of two minds whether I'll came back, maybe I will but for the moment, I need a change and to pay a few bills at home. The problem is when I get home I know I'll get itchy feet. Where else in the world can you tour amazing places like Guilin and Yangshuo in your May vacation, stay in 4/5star hotels for under 1000rmb? What irks me is posts from losers like this

So I repeat the question, which one are you? And why are you still here? That's a bad attitude you've got there sunshine, no wonder you're not enjoying yourself. I suggest you get on the next 'plane out, go home, get shackled to a nice steady job and mortgage, marry a fatass suburban chick and spend the next 25 years wishing you were somewhere exotic and exciting. bye bye, of you go now, there's a good little suburbanite.

I've come to the conclusion that it was Dante, not Marco Polo, who traveled from Italy to China and then returned home after several years. How else could he have written the following?

Dear Hakeyi

You must have low standards when considering 4 and 5 star hotels in China.

You can pay up to 1000rmb for hotels that have no English language Television or a swimming pool.

Go to Thailand and pay 250 to 400 rmb for a 4 or 5 star hotel with swimming pool, massive bed, 40 channels on the TV, fridge, etc , etc, etc.

Hotels are overpriced in China in comparison to other South East Asian countries.

Talkdoc,

You raise a good point. Perhaps thats why many do not consider this a "real"job. However in the three years I have been in China I have seen more and more opportunities for advancement in the Chinese English world, albeit mostly in the private sector with foreign companies, but I think it is an option.

Companies like EF, Berlitz, and TMC are all offering different forms of advancement. Grant it, that is a very small percent of the EFL market.
