Sorry Scholar, but I've been lurking for a while, and you do come across as a self appointed expert.

Your views on visas in China are dead wrong. Bob will not be able to get a Z visa without a degree. The school will not be able to get said visa just because they can legally hire foreigners. Maybe 5 or 10 years ago this was the case, but no longer.

Bob, things have tightened up here of late, especially after the olympics. If you don't have a degree, you won't likely be getting any legit jobs here. Scholar is no scholar at all, if one is to go by his lame advice.
