I worked in China for 12 years ago at the time I loved it but unfortunately had to come home to address a health issue. I’ve recently been offered to high paying jobs teaching in China but now grown weary of the visa process, the amount of money I’ve had to initially fork out, the ridiculous amount of paperwork, the final cruncher was having to pay for my medical screening in the UK with would have been hundreds of pounds which I would get reimbursed once I got to China, given my medical condition (which according to the medical screening is perfectly ok ) depending on the province my application could be rejected and I’d lose all my money. I will now go to Vietnam instead

You gained a follower here; very real content. Could you possibly expand a little on what he says here: (paraphrasing) he says something like "if you're a legit teacher, forget about that, just do what they tell you." This worries me a little as I'm not just looking at it as an easy job, I would like to make a difference.

Also I will binge your content, but if you haven't made one could you do a video like this on HK?

The dude speaking about Vietnam was Spot On about every count. I'm an American expat living in Saigon, Vietnam right now.

@rebornabroad. There are higher quality teaching jobs in Thailand, but in a sense you're right, as the competition is stiff. For those interested, here are the 3 categories of higher quality jobs in Thailand - a) international schools; b) International Colleges (English medium) within well known universities such as Mahidol U.; c) tenure track university positions (not English Center gigs). The international k to 12 jobs usually require a credential. The tenure track jobs usually require a PhD plus recent publications and the International College jobs require at least a Master's in a relevant field but not necessarily publications.

Can you teach English at Chinese universities and normal public schools with a Bachelor's Degree? I'm a Canadian university student.

Also, would love to see the content on what the country side is like in China .

At this point, I wouldn't move back to China without a regime change.

I've taught in China and Thailand on the ESL circuit. I was originally a professor of Religion and Philosophy in the US but I got tired of all the Woke rhetoric in Liberal Arts Academia so I left. I've never taught in Vietnam so I can't compare China to Vietnam, and I left China in 2020. Money isn't the most important thing to discuss: the quality of the Education is. In China we often had Chinese bosses who were woefully unqualified. Some couldn't even speak English yet the entire curriculum was in English. Thailand doesn't seem to be much better but foreigners have a bit more power in Thailand.

Taught in both China and Vietnam. Vietnam is waaaay more open and free. I felt like I was living in a bubble in China, very isolated from the outside world. Vietnam on the other hand is filled with international tourists, loads of English speakers in the big cities, apps in English, they welcome the outside world. And easy to get things like cheese, french bread, chocolates and other western items at reasonable prices. In China, it would cost 5 times as much for these western products and they were never as good, never as fresh. Viet young people also very internationalized, open. Very welcome to foreigners. Honestly, my quality of life quadrupled moving from China to Vietnam even tho my paycheck decreased. I can still live like a king on my Vietnam salary and no gutter oil here, cleaner air. Very happy with the move.

Doesn't matter the amount of tariffs. The Consumer always pays! Or you get nothing.

What this guy is saying about Mao killing scientists and Xi Jinping Thought is completely nonsense. The book he's talking about is The Governance of China, which is a collection of speeches from Xi Jinping from the CPC National Congress, and is completely unrelated to Quotations from Chairman Mao (he also that the name of that book wrong). And they call it Socialism with Chinese Characteristics, not Communism. This guy got everything he said about Mao, Xi, and Socialism dead wrong. He is either completely misinformed, completely uninformed, or just straight up lying.

[randomname]

He seems pretty disgruntled. Why is he still there?
