I am looking for a job paying similar wages to those in the Middle East. Do they exist? Me - 10+ years experience, MA TESOL with mostly EAP/ESP experience.

Thanks for any information you can give.

Is this post for real?

I do get emails from NETwork Education Solutions Ltd. They seem to do recruiting for jobs that pay 20,000-40,000 RMB per month. You may be qualified for a position with them.

Good luck with your very difficult quest OP.

Thanks for your reply. Looks like the answer is no then.

OH come on. Really? You really believe CHINA is paying foreign "teachers" $60,000 a year? REALLY? Half that for AMERICAN TEACHERS IN AMERICA. $1200 a month if you are lucky.

If you are so handsomely desperate for that kind of money that why aren't you getting a kick-butt job in the US? What keeps your from such wonderful high-scale employment in your homeland? Issues? Legal? Running? What's going on? Because, your belief and desperateness to make $5000-$6000 a month in China only makes you sound fishy and suspicious. People don't go to China for high incomes. When I came to China, salaries were...

Fact is, you sound off-the-wall and something simply is not right with your "plan"

Chuckling and shaking my head on this one.

I see a 30k/month salary now and then but usually seems to be teaching math or science in high school. No idea if they're real or not or if they require a certified teacher.

I think around $2-3k usd per month is realistically possible teaching high school or kindergarten here. More than that and you really have to be in the right place at the right time.

Teachers in America have very high compensation per hour when you look at the whole package.

University lecturer level (MA) teachers in the States can make that and more...

after twenty-five years in the same institution.

I agree that it's a stretch to expect that kind of pay in China. I've seen jobs paying $60,000 USD per calender year offered by a British outfit in Kazakhstan not long ago.

If one has a Ph.D degree from Princeton University or from Oxford and has something specific and/or special to offer, it's conceivable.

Why, about a year ago, I read that British-trained butlers can make $150,000+ in China. The source was The New Yorker Magazine or The Atlantic, I believe.

Anything is possible in China, though I believe these kinds of school jobs will become MUCH fewer and farther between. I read in The Atlantic Magazine recently that the Chinese economy is in a rather delicate condition right now, so I am sure that everyone is watching how every fen is spent.

Certified teachers in my school are paid over $5000 usd a month

The 30,000 rmb a month job is not a unicorn. Some here just wish that it was. Perhaps it makes them feel better about their current situation.

Now, having said that, it takes some luck, a rare and in-demand skill or qualification, and a willingness to move at a moments notice to acquire one. Also, there are no guarantees about said job's stability. Lower paid jobs tend to be more stable.

NO man, that school just hired the wrong foreigner.
