I think it must be awful to be living in China or other countries knowing you have no family or friends and no support back home.
Trying to survive in China on a teaching salary with nothing back home, fuck that!
In contrast, working a deadend low-paid service industry job back home is much more awful!
In China, it's possible to live on about 1,000 RMB in rent-free accommodation smoking and drinking beer in moderation. That kind of lifestyle cannot be enjoyed in your homeland if you're on low pay there, or on social security.
Not too bad, teaching with minimal interference from your Chinese bosses for 16 teaching periods of 45 mins/week with no office hours while regurgitating the same lesson 16 times a week at a public high school without having to give oral English tests/exams or homework.The proverbial walk in the park!
Much, much better than teaching as a licensed teacher back home with increased stress, a heavy workload, and disciplinary problems to solve! Unlike you, I can make the comparison as I've been a licenced secondary school subject teacher back home.
Teaching back home, fuck that!
