I also wonder why Nick can't find anywhere better to work. Interesting that posters on here who claim they are great educators almost never work at universities. Instead, they always seem to crop up at bottom of the barrel training centres. The only reason I can think for them to work at such places is either plain greed, stupidity, or they are control freaks who can't get a real job back home, so they become bullies in China.

A teaching position at Guangxi University is by far the most prized job for an FT in Guangxi, or should be ( I live and work in Nanning at a second tier uni )

So, I wonder why people like Nick, who professes to be a real teacher, don't apply for jobs at large, well known universities in China.

Sure beats the hell out of working for scumbags at places like EF or Omeida, and an FT will also sleep better at night, knowing that they are not participating in a fraud and a scam.
