Sign up with Google Sign up with FacebookQ: Legalized, original, non-English BA diploma degree. Is it worthy?
Hi everybody,
Just to avoid confusions, I re-edit my question.
I have my BA degree legalized by the Embassy of China. It is in a native language other than English. I also have the copies translated in English and in process to be legalized by the same dilplomatic authority.
Does it help in anyway to get the Work Permit if I have legalized the original documents that are written in any other language than English? Does it help to have them legalized by the Embassy of China, anyway, or I just made a dumb expensive mistake?
Thank you for your input.

Non-native English speaker is qualified to teach English in China only if BA was completed in Native English country (UK, USA, Canada, Ozz, NZ and S. Africa).
Native English BA is a must in China or elsewhere for NNES to qualify as an English teacher.

If you want to be an English teacher, yes waste of money!
Or in other words, you cannot be an English teacher anywhere if you don't hold BA from Native English Uni.

Where are you today? Did you make it to find a teaching job in China or are you already in another country?
Thank you for your input.

Is it me or is the OP's writing style confusing. I know, I'm not an Academic but ...
PulSartre:
Thanks man. Just re-edited for you to avoid possible confusions. Now, what is your answer. Icniff says something which makes already sense and so I may have wasted my money for nothing. Is it useful to have it legalized in my endeavor to get a teaching job in China?
Thanks.
So much legal hassle to teach English for less money than a burger flipper back home, not worth it. It would be if Chinese employers raised salaries according to inflation, but they haven't changed in over 10 years even though everything else in China has gotten 3-4 times more expensive in the last decade. Be smart, go to Korea, Japan, Taiwan or Vietnam.
PulSartre:
Is it that bad, after all? Thank you for your input. I hope I will not regret it going to China.
If it isn't from an anglophone country, it is worthless here.
PulSartre:
Hey Spider, my bad, I accessed from my iphone and, without zooming in, I clicked on the down instead of the upvote. Just to know where that come from, at least. Thank you for your answer. So it seems, it's worthless indeed.
If you're from a native English speaking country, got two years of experience (need proof) and you've got a BA or BS degree authenticated by the Chinese embassy in that country you'll be fine, I was. So get your degree authenticated, by the Chinese embassy from where ever your degree is from, BTW it's not the term "legalized" for China.

The Chinese labour department uses the term Authenticated , they would look at you and be confused by the term legalized, one small misunderstanding of a word for Chinese and everything could go wrong, like my friend, he told the hr he had already got his degree authenticated, but it was apostille stamped, not authenticated so he was a victim of miscommunication, so legalized means what to Chinese ?
