[quote=KSWONG,237368]An Ivy League degree don't count for much here. Most expats (ie Caucasians) end up teaching English where the only pre-requisite is that you must come from an English-speaking country and have white skin. Yes, you will be there with the backpackers and high school leavers who are also qualified for these jobs (no offense intended). Sales & marketing? Why would they hire an American who speaks no Chinese when the market is like 99% Chinese-literate only? I guess the next bet is for you to start a business. But you need to be business savvy to survive. You need capital, guangxi and a reasonable length of time in China to suss out market needs & wants. If you have only been in academia all this while, it will be tough. Perhaps u might want to try Hong Kong or Singapore. Anyway, all the best to you :)[/quote]
