More than a few degreeless heroes have taught on behalf of Harry and Rivers over the years. However, most of them were native speakers of English. They were paid well given that they were degreeless. I take my hat off to their inborn talents to teach well, though I myself have a degree, as well as being a native speaker of English.

What was great about the company was its ability to place its foreign talents in middle schools that were very likely to accept them for at least a semester. Another great thing was the provision of TAs to assist in class among their other duties of course. And also the ability of the company to get the necessary permission from the education board for degreeless FTs from the major English-speaking countries to convert their visas to Z visas by embarking on HK runs.

Being an academic snob is a terrible fault in a person's character. I'm happy to see that you aren't one, unlike a few of the board's regular contributors, shame on them all!
