Forgive me almighty troll, for I've made a few typos on a forum full of grammar/spelling Nazis.

You still have yet to address why you're coming into a review topic about a specific thing and talking about very general things.

I also can't seem to picture your version of a well informed/educated person. You can easily find this site outside of China (before you ever set foot here). If these people really did exist they'd probably be scared off of private schools because of this site alone. You're a looney if you think that these recruiters are good enough to trick anyone and everyone they encounter, regardless of how smart they (the future English teacher) are. So either you can prove my point by admitting you were stupid and got stuck at a bad school, or you can prove my point that you did enough research to avoid private schools. You can even say you made a dumb choice and later rectified it by actually researching the new place you'd be going to. Regardless, I win.

How do you honestly compare moving to an unfamiliar country with getting into a taxi and going for a drive around the block?

Well, according to your logic, if you worked for Aston, than you didn't do those extremely simple "things".

Aww, poor guy. According to my logic, I did the simple things and so I found a good Aston to work at. Which is where I work, not where I worked. Nice try though.

Army recruiters do a MUCH better job taking advantage of people/tricking them. To use your own example against you, if someone told me I'd be making as much money as a doctor I'd think he was either lying to me, or being a doctor in China doesn't say much for your income.
