Please PM me if you know of any five-figure sum jobs for a foreigner in southern China.

All schools in Guangdong pay five-figure monthly salaries - in mao!
There are some six-figure jobs as well, but for me to PM you their particulars you would have to out yourself here first of all.

Five figure sums in RMB? That's a lot, do they give you housing as well? I"m jealous. When I was looking for jobs, I never saw any five figure jobs, I guess it's who you know and being in the right place at the right time.

Maybe it means a year and not a month.

Sarcastic jokes aside (noting you did put youself into it), the only place you're gunna find a quintial figure salary is in Shanghai, Hong Kong and Beijing. Those are the monthly salaries, obviously. And secondly, do you honestly expect us TEFLers in China to stick with a crappy 4000 a month and give up a 5 fig to someone we don't know. What were you honestly expecting? Dude.................Where's my life?

This other guy told me he was making US$ 4000 a month; he teaches in a bilingual school.
Then again, he is not a lousy TEFLer.
He teaches REAL subjects. His problem: few schools can afford to hire him. SO he has stayed put for the last 3 years.

Roger, is that other fellow at the Golden Lake Estate or Zeng Cheng Campus?

Ger, there are some kindergartens paying five-figure sums to foreign teachers if you are interested in teaching that level of English.

I have PMed you, Ger, but you have to be a North American apparently to qualify for that five-figure sum job teaching kindergarten kids (according to the job advertisement). Don't know how you'd define a "North American" just know that I don't qualify for that job.

A young man comes before the Customs agent.
A: "State your citizenship."
B:"American" (pronounced with a Spanish accent).
A: "Hold on there, buddy. Say that again."
B: "I sed American."
A: "I'm going to give you a test."
B: "No, no senor, no need for test, I tell you I"m American."
A: "Yeah, sure buddy. OK, let's see, ... I've got it. Make a sentence with the following colors: green, pink and yellow."
B: "Oh senor, I tell you I'm American. But OK, let's see... I was at my bruder-in-laws house and the phone went 'green, green, I pinked it up and sed yellow!"

"Just a guy" what do you think is meant by "North American"? And where are you from yourself?

Susie,
Before you edited your post & clarified it, my quote was all I had to go by, notice the period after �apparently� in the quote box in my post.

So.... being from N. America,
(N. = North � being from = Americanized way of saying I come from)
& N. American can mean you�re from one of three countries. `Right..? Wink

But I wasn�t asking about that,

I thought you maybe meant that Roger never replied, so you were implying that folks from N. America might not answer messages.

I stay China now, beefo I wen come hea, I waz in da middle a da ocean on one island. Cool

Susie,
no, other posters can testify to this: I am not North American. Have even been flamed (unfairly, I thought) for being prejudiced against them on occasion...
Yes, I did receive some PM's from you. Yesterday, my computer went down, and it was unable to reconnect to the Internet until today. I thought the official thought police, tipped off by a lunatic from the CHINA DAILY, had intervened.
It was but a technical glitch.

Anyway, the school referred to goes by a different name. It's a private Chinese-owned boarding-school that also has an international section where students get prepared for overseas studies.

I am interested in those kindergartens you mentioned. Would you care to give me the details?
