Vkearney3 Posted August 27, 2010 Report Share Posted August 27, 2010 Not much to offer on this post, but felt the need to express how much I hate flying. But once again, all worth the flight. I truly love China, and wish I had a full time job here. Maybe someday. Anway, Im back in good ol' Jingjiang, Jiangsu. I have to say, what money, blood, cheap labor, and hard work can do in a year. This city use to be a drag, in my opinion. But now it's a spinning image of People's square, or East/West Nanjing Road in Shanghai. The place just boomed with malls, restaurants, private roads for shopping with no cars. It's truly amazing. I really wish I had lots of money, experience, and started a business right now here. I would probably hit it big, but what can a 25 year old do, who only has his bachelors degree and less then 25,000 a year salary from some stupid marketing firm in New York City. Well...we will see, maybe I can change my stars. Link to comment

Stepbrow Posted August 28, 2010 Report Share Posted August 28, 2010 I was on East Nanjing Rd. this morning! If you make it to Shanghai drop me a line and i will give you my number. Link to comment
Stepbrow Posted September 6, 2010 Report Share Posted September 6, 2010 Just a thought occurred to me. $25,000 is not much after taxes. If you came to China you could teach in a buxiban. They only require that you have a degree of any sort, and that you are a native speaker. If you negotiated well, you could do alright considering that the money you make here in China is tax free to the US up to $90,000 per year. Link to comment

Hows it going over there?. Im about 2 hours away from Shanghai, not to sure if we will make our way there this trip. We are thinking of planning a trip to South of China. See some new cities. Thank you for the idea on teaching. I actually used to do it in Shanghai for 2 years with DDDragon. They have a bunch of branches throughout Shanghai. I had a school in Putuo district. I was actually gonna buy it and run it myself, but we did immigration instead. Yeah 25,000 is not much at all, lol. Good news is I have an interview when I get back with CNN, who might pay me 60,000 to start in their sales department. Well, see : /. But I would love to come back to China to teach again. Is that what you are doing? Link to comment
Stepbrow Posted September 10, 2010 Report Share Posted September 10, 2010 Hey Buddy, I hope you get that job. Yes, I am teaching in Shanghai.If you come this way, give me a call: 136-4184-0054. You should have bought that school. You would be rich now Link to comment
