[quote=APAULT ,32180]Hi SonicmanSure u can live on the pay, but it is beneath the going rate. Y4000 is the basic rate for a person with a Bachelors only. If you have teaching certificates or higher quals it should increase to say Y5,500 for a doctorate... yeah they assume higher academic quals mean a betetr teacher!The standard package is own personal furnished accommodation with Y200 per month utilities allowance, a return airfare for 12 months, and often a Y2000 per year as a travel allowance on completeion of 1 year and a pc with broadband. Of course you may negotiate better, or accept less than that. TV is not great, in Shenyang there is at le3ast one sports channel, ... you might get the Chiefs game, but you will have to get a freind to check the programme schedules. There is also CCTV9 which is an official English Language channel. Good for getting to grips with Chinese politics, business and culture. As you say, an exciting oportunity..I enjoy it, but there are MANY frustrations.Quite separately from all the above which I stand by as objective, where I teach in Guangdong is recruiting teachers experienced in all years to 18yrs old ...a similar package with pay at Y6000 p month (cost of living in this small city are similar to Shenyang). Disadvantages: it is tropical, there is a beach nearby, you can eat and drink at paveside bbq mini restauarants to midnight, the air is not as polluted, and we teach a few more classes than you would in a college. Msg me if you are interested!(I hope this last bit isn't seen as a "naked advertisement"... I get no financial reward...I just won't have to work so many hours if we get our staff numbers up!)[/quote]
