I see.
I guess our recruiter is not the same recruiter your friends have. Anyways, I wish them good.

I have some skills up my sleeve, so I'll be fine. And no, those skills don't involve the service sector.
There are plenty of things you can learn if you come back to the states. You just gotta put your nose to the grindstone. I know a skill right now that will net you 50K plus a year....if you learn it. There is a catch, though. It's outside work all four seasons.
It takes about a month to learn this skill.
Look into it. Don't settle for chickenfeed if you want more.

By the ways, I forgot to ask. How come your friends accepted the 2900 RMB offer?

You mean you actually need encouragement, Fishy? Perhaps you should tuck your head between your legs and head home.
Read my previous posts here for plenty of advice from yours truly....that is if you dare.
I would make this a long reply, but f### it. It's not worth it. I was in Thailand about 28 months, save for a short hop to South Korea (plane ticket was paid for) for a week.
TESOL was cool, but it's no career. Now if I could only get my 1600 back I dropped on my useless TESOL program.
Yeah, I'm back to my "previous life". The life where I nail down some real mulla instead of the pigeon feed I was making as a babysitter/scapegoat/bozo/patsy in Thailand.
