Salary Whining is a real pain! - ESL discussion
Posted By: John
In Response To: salaries (darren)
If Darren wants to earn the same sort of salary he claims to be able to command back where he comes from - then let him go back there and command it. He completely overlooks the fact that while the salary in China is lower than at home - so is the cost of living. Moreover he is not a "valuable commodity" he's just one of thousands of teachers many of whom are unqualified and quite happy to have their round-world trips paid for while in China by doing a spot of teaching. The going rate this year for English teachers is around RMB:5,000 a month and last year it was around RMB:4,000 a month so the salaries are going up not down.
I'm not working my way around the world but am qualified and I enjoy the experience of living and working in China - I'm happy to take the going rate - let Darren and those who sincerely agree with him stand shoulder to shoulder and see how long their line will stretch - I suspect not very far. The rest of us will simply walk past them and be happy to do so.
