Former FT in China - 2016-08-26
In response to knocking opportunity (amused)

As the angry howling of the departing and deported dancing FTs from China continues, there are now countless opportunities for young and early-retired individuals with genuine college degrees from the U.S, Canada, England, Australia or New Zealand, several years work experience or a TESOL certification, and clean backgrounds to teach English in China.

Yep, let's not confuse readers. We should say university degrees, NOT college degrees!

Not surprisingly, the individuals who are involuntarily denied occupancy in China are now criticizing the country that no longer welcomes non-credentialed foreign teachers.

But they're not alone. Don't tar all such individuals with the same brush! Some such individuals who are qualified to teach in China are fed up with the increased red tape!

The fact is that teaching in Universities and public schools in China is a rewarding experience for individuals that have a genuine interest in teaching and are excited to experience China's rich culture and modern frenetic growth.

It's also rewarding for laid-back qualified Westerners who relish the opportunity to teach in China on 12 clock hour/week contracts, and be allowed to be their own bosses, as it were, with minimal interference from dept heads. They aren't so excited as the ones you promote. They wish to chill out and have sufficient salary to drink beer and/or smoke in their generously allocted free time. BTW, why does your post have university starting with a capital, but public schools isn't starting with capitals? University should not start with a capital.

For caring and qualified individuals, there has never been a better time to teach in China.

I would just say 'for qualified individuals'! FTs needn't be caring!
