Well said, Silverboy, public universities are a much better bet, even if the pay is only 4.500 RMB. you will certainly end up with more money in your pocket than working for Yuming.

I can't understand how so many FT's are lacking in judgement. Even if one takes the sample contract they show you as gospel(which it ain't), you should throw it straight in the bin- How can you work in a place that doesn't pay for {Chinese holidays, that doesn't pay for cancelled classes, no travel money during holidays, no air fare} and so on? It just beggars belief how anybody could think this a deal worth further consideration, let alone actually accepting. As you say, plenty of better choices in China; more so now because I have it on good authority that FT's have started avoiding China in droves, choosing other Asian countries instead. I wonder how much outfits like Yuming are to blame for putting off foreigners; they are harming not only FT's but Chinese education.

Wake up and smell the kippers chaps. Have it in your minds that when you go to China you are doing them the favour not the other way around-don't settle for a pile of shite. Most Chinese are good people, don't let a Yuming-experience cloud that fact.
