Yes that's true but I didn't choose a care home worker as an example of a bad job I chose it because it's a job I knew my son would hate to do no matter what the salary was.

If you love that kind of work you'd probably be prepared to work for a modest wage, and that's what it's all about, find a job you love and you need never work again.

So creating 200 digg accounts and digging every article you make will make the money pour in?

Currently zero as I'm looking for a new career and I'm living off savings. My previous job in China as an English teacher paid about $750 a month (good pay for China) and my last job in Australia paid about $65000/yr ($60000 USD). I miss having money.

Well, with 750$ you can have wich kind of life in China? You could live in a comfort house and have a car? It's money enough to buy technology(good computers, gaming consoles, HDTVs,Good Cellphones and etc.), eat in clean restaurants and stuff?

Ironically it's Leo J.

I earn about -8000 a year. I work part time, but school costs pushes me further into debt every year. This is my last year though, hurray!

Cars are hella expensive in China, out of the reach of most people, plus where I lived taxis were everywhere and were very cheap, so a car really was unnecessary.  Other than that, that kind of pay covered all living expenses, including landline, cell phone, utiliies, computer and videogame related expenses (bought from overseas), clothes, eating out every night (if I wanted), going out and holidays within China.

It's sometimes hard to compare because some things there are really cheap whereas certain 'luxuries', such as cars or generally any imported goods, are really expensive due to the exchange rate.  Also cost of living varies wildly in China and where I lived was pretty cheap, that kind of pay wouldn't get you very far in Shanghai.  Where I lived it could afford you a very comfortable life as a single person and would probably be enough to support a single child family pretty easily.

Also it's very easy to earn extra money in China if you are at all motivated and you pay no tax on your earnings.

I ran a business for awhile which was pretty good, but I closed up (by choice) earlier this year so I could go back to school for nursing.

So I'm a full time student right now, but I have about 175k in cash and about 300k in bought and paid for assets (including my house).

I figure that by the time I'm done school, that cash stash will be down to about 30k, but I'll build her up again pretty quickly once I'm done my studies and in to a career.

$400-600 a month...
