Wrong. Most of us have degrees, teaching certificates, and experience. Having a degree means nothing much these days anyway. Tradesman earn much more than most uni graduates nowadays. Sick and tired of life in China? Many of us have money, we have mobility, and can live wherever we like. I'm going to Turkey and Spain on February 5 for two weeks, I'm looking for a teaching job in China after that, if I don't get one I will just chill out in Oz for a while. We are not always in China. I like teaching oral English in China at universities however, as it gives me time to do more important and fun things. Maybe I will move to Vietnam when I'm finally bored with China and Chinese people. Even the guys on here with not much money seem to have mobility. Maybe YOU are jealous! I'm willing to bet you are stuck working at some crappy TC and feel trapped. Tone down your uppity and snobbish tone, you are nothing special.
