I'll tell ya, the last time I worked at a training center, I was stuck in a rut where the boss (who had been trying for months to lower my pay since she thought I was getting too much) decided to dock my pay due to some made up reason. I was in low finances, did not have enough money to pay for my own airfare back, and really needed a job even if it was working in china. I had a studio apartment, made a few friends, and finally felt a bit settled in the city I was living in at the time.

I decided to walk into the office the next day to tell them I was going to quit, and that was that.

There are some things more important in life than money. I found that the more training centers or international schools I went to, the less I liked working at these places and the sooner I would quit. The shortest time I was ever at one was 1 week, and I regret going there in the first place to work, should've just gone there for vacation.

Honestly, even at the best job I had in china which was at a public school I felt that in china there was nothing left for me, and it was sucking the life force out of me. I will stop at nothing to share the 5 years experience I have had working overseas and to tell the truth on everything I know about.

The foreign expats who make extra money simply for looking the part and kissing up to their bosses including writing lies on discussion forums like this can kiss my @$$. You can fool me once or twice, but writing nonsense eventually exposes all of you for the lowlifes that you all really are.

It's good that other posters have reminded everyone of the puppet show that GW's run, whatever they say about places like EF cannot change the fact that they willingly worked for them and are to be distrusted completely.
