You get what you pay for.....more tax, more security and peace of mind. Cleaner streets.......
Better a meal of vegetables where there is love than meat with hatred
Peace comes at a cost.
Youre not from Canada are you? I'm not sure if youre referring to China but I wouldn't say the risk of an unregulated country means more money. I earn more in Japan in one year than I could in 5 years in China. I taught in the Czech Republic where a teachers salary there would buy a beer and a bag of chips in Western Europe.
The big money, if you call it that, is from your own school or many, many private lessons in a week. But we aren't talking 6 figure incomes here.
I like your perky enthusiasm, Stella. I know you are a good person and teacher so I'm not out to derail you, but first-world countries like Japan, Germany and Canada are better places to live than China or Korea. I've lived in 6 countries now and I have the luxury to compare. Being in a third-world country is great for a few kicks but the long term stinks. Anyway, just my take on it.
Cheers
