Ask me about my bottom br
$5.81 USD/hour
Apparently that's what I'm worth.
To top it off, It seems I'm going to be taking it.
Any questions?
I'll post more, to put things into perspective.

$5.81/hr in rural China is a king's random. In San Francisco, it's well below poverty. I think the wage itself is less important that where it's being earned, and what it's being earned for. So, do tell!

I was earning more 6 years ago doing the same thing. So, kids don't burn those bridges!

It's an ESL teaching job. Wish I could apply for a UAE english teaching gig, but I'm not a native speaker so I can't. That's 15 years of experience there, too.

I guess it comes down to employer expectations/discipline(?).
Back when I started, I was part of a teaching staff that was 90% foreigner, so it was "not a job", the people I worked with were basically taking a year off, in their "sabbatical", free roaming hippies, old guys living off the land in the norhtern oaxaca valley and getting some supplemental income, or recent university graduates getting some experience. We got to experiment with our students, try out our own teaching approaches and share them over beers and 'wild horses', and you know, just enjoy it. Put some of those crazy Noam Chomsky theories to test.
Right now, it seems to be burger-joint uniforms, ultra-strict classroom behavior, student-retention ratios, full-on corporate BS.
I'm pretty certain no one from a developed country would take that wage.

...and a supervisor who can't pronounce long vowel sounds. It's all \ˈti-ˈsher\ instead of \ˈtē-chər\.
Ugh!

Oh yeah, in mainland China, public doctors make around USD660/month.

So what do you do, aside from ESL? Because I'm always about helping people with talent move up here. There's got to be something you can do here that won't get you treated like that.

I'm on jury duty next week and I will get paid about $20/hour for that.
And that won't cover my mortgage.

Missouri it is like $20 for the entire day.
