No, poor wages! Some foreign teachers adapt pretty well to life over there. Accommodation is provided free of charge. Food is fresh and good and very inexpensive. Wages vary from place to place. A friend of mine (a retired Canadian high school teacher) told me he received a paltry C$700 a month! Air fare to China is paid by the employer. Return airfare is granted only if the teacher completes his/her contract (full year teaching assignment). Pay is docked for days absent from the classroom due to illness etc. A good number of young American college graduates are teaching English in China. According to my Canadian friend, those young fellas are not really teaching English but slang, and most of them are not serious about their teaching! My friend is so serious about his work and is so good at interpersonal relationships that he was made a manager of the school in his second year over there. Are you thinking of teaching English in China? To be sure, they will welcome you with open arms.
