The conversion may be off but all the information I am getting from TELF schools say that is an average income for teachers in China. It's about $1,000 to $1,500 a month. Also I find it very odd that everyone keeps saying you can't teach English without a BA but all the TEFL programs have China, Korea, and Russia as the top three countries that you can teach in with NO BA. I have 2 years left before I get my BA but I'd like to go to China before then. So since someone posted that the income was off. What is the average income? I am almost getting worried and starting tho think that maybe the TELF programs are just out to get our money if you truly can't teach anywhere without a BA. Here in the states I teach preschool, which is the onlything you can teach without a BA. Thanks again for all the help and advice.
