The China Education Exchange has positions throughout
China. If you are interested in setting up a shop right
next to a rice paddy or if you like the bustle of cities
like Beijing and Shanghai, we can help you get there!
Both choices have advantages and disadvantages.
Cities
If you long for teeming masses of humanity, riding a crowded
subway during rush hour and drinking & dancing until
4am, then you'll probably want to get a job in the city.
Working in a major city will allow you to befriend other
Westerners, catch the latest American movie, attend church
or satisfy a craving for a burrito.
You may experience some culture shock, but at least the
sights and sounds will be familiar.
Country
Living and working in a smaller city or along the countryside
is slower-paced and often more scenic.
Living expenses are lower and usually rural communities
have more difficulty attracting teachers. So, your salary
might be a little higher in small towns than big cities.
Also, in a rural environment you may end up performing
administrative duties that aren't typically required of
positions in urban settings. Another difference is that
you may not see another Westerner for days or weeks at
a time.
For those looking to escape from all Western things, this
is a great way to become immersed in the local culture.
Isolation does wonders for one's language skills. Also,
because people in small cities and towns are not as accustomed
to foreigners, everyday life will be more challenging
and potentially more rewarding.
As a part of The China Education Exchange Project you
will have our staff and a network of other program participants
available. Feel free to pick up the telephone and give
us a call. We are here to help you! Our office staff can
help you getting a message home, find a tour package,
book a flight, send gifts, secure a work visa or locate
important embassy information quickly.
