Default Re: Where can an ESL teacher get the best pay package?Tokyo, Beijing, Seoul,

Hi I have been invited to work in Shanghai in 09. I think you have a better deal than anything I have ever heard of, do you have a Business License or work at a school. I think it would be difficult to negotiate the red tape without support of established friendships and freelance is a little risky for me. In some countries if you work for a school and go off the books you can be breaking the law, they want to tax income generated in their country.

I make 46,000 per year in the USA and will take a pay cut to work on my foreign language skills. My tuition will be $4,000 per semester, If I test out of my languages I can reduce my
tuition,become eligible for a scholarship and have a lot of fun in the meantime.
Rent in my town is 1,600 per month, housekeeping assistance is $200 for one day ( vacume, clean frig, tub, do laundry, ironing included or windows) I honestly don't need a housekeeper.
