The fact that you believe the declining wages for EFL teachers in China is not necessarily a bad thing suggests to me that you are a young idealist and/or not capable or desirous of seeing the bigger picture. The fact that you yourself managed to save money from your measly salary is irrelevant.There are many important points regarding wages in China that you should be taking into consideration, but I have neither the time nor inclination to point them out to you at this time.However, I hope that you will rethink your position after you have placed the critical elements of this discussion in the proper context.
