In the interest of WISE CHOICES

I am currently giving serious consideration to going overseas to teach ESL. I have my BA, including TESOL certificate, and I even believe given my nature, etc I would be successful. The thing is, I am nearing retirement age and need to focus on maximizing my earnings where possible.

According to my research, I am finding that teacher earnings, in particular China appear somewhat low, i.e. 4500-5000/month. Is this not $571-634/mth. US currency?

All responses in this regard will be appreciated.

Thank you, Gareth
