7000rmb for the first two months of training (probation), then 8000rmb for four months, and 10000rmb for the last six months of my contract. How do you know if its a scam? I'm going through reach to teach recruiting because I started getting exhausted on daves esl, getting contacts from schools and then finding out they are "scams" from forums or china blacklist.

The cold doesn't bother me, I am from the Sierra Nevada's and I have lived in the mountains my whole life. We usually get dry hot summers and extremely cold winters.
Where would you suggest to find these public university positions? I have no teaching experience, just a TEFL and a degree in marketing.

By the way what is your background in? You speak like you have experience so I am curious, did you get scammed or something? You seem bitter in a lot of your posts.
