Me and China are not on speaking terms

---

Things I have learn about life from China:

Changzhou:
1.If a company hires you without an interview and without contacting you, you should be suspicious.
2.If someone needs to be paid a lot in order to find you a job, you should be suspicious.
3.If you have to sign a contract, you might be getting screwed.

Beijing:
4.If a school requires little to no qualifications or experience, you should be suspicious.
5.People who leave the US to work at a school that requires little to no qualifications are: drunks, deadbeats, former drug addicts and high school drop-outs.
6.If the hard-ass condescending manager of the native English teachers at your school is a guy from Syria, with an accent, pretending to be Canadian, that has been learning English for 6 years, you should be suspicious.
7.If a school is run solely for profit you should be suspicious.
8.If someone you work with gets paid more than you every month because she flirts with the CEO, you should be suspicious.
9.If you have to lie about your age, experience or visa type at your job, you should be suspicious.

Just China:
10.Sometimes family can do more harm than good.
11.If you get screwed by a company while abroad you will have no way to pay rent or get home.
12.If you follow your instincts it's easy to know the character of a person within minutes.
13.Sometimes you can't avoid crazy people, they will seek you out.
14.Many people will do ANYTHING for money.
15. The language barrier is your enemy, you need someone who you trust to be able to speak to people who you work for or you will get screwed.
16.Without integrity and honesty, we are all nothing.
17.If you have even one good friend (Tom) you can get through anything.
