Whats the best job for China or Japan? | |
Where is the best place for a american in China or Japan to work at and make a decent amount of money?
Answers:
1Yeah, it would be helpful to know your qualifications - for example, without at least a Bachelor's degree, you can't work in either of these countries legally, which means you'd be working for dodgy operations if you could get a job at all, and spending hundreds if not thousands of dollars every couple of months on visa runs!
The best paying jobs involve getting hired at home and then being sent abroad -- you'll get your usual salary, plus 'hardship pay', plus lots of extras like housing, cars, maids, etc. Uncle Sam has decided to start taxing all these things, so not as cush as it used to be.
Under that - working as a diplomat.
Under that - English teaching, freelance photography, writing, DJ, hostess, etc -- you're probably gonna top out at a thousand US a month, unless you really know what you're doing or can learn really fast. You'd be burning through cash fast in Japan, but could survive on a thou a month in China.
There are millions of people in China that can speak pretty decent English and are happy to work for 500 US dollars a month or less -- top-notch engineers that can speak 2 languages fluently might make a bit more than a grand a month --
I guess what I'm saying is you've really got to bring something to the table if you expect to make dough -- at home or abroad.
However, it's relatively easy to make enough to pay the rent and buy rice - and lots of Americans are doing that; using the low costs here to follow a dream of some kind - music, writing, art, etc. Just don't expect to put much - or any - cash in the savings account.
