-Well first you are black. So it's hard to get a job since Chinese people think English Speakers are white. Didn't say it's true, but that's the economic reality

-Second you don't have the two years of experience teaching English to get a good job in Beijing or Shanghai, or Guangzhou, so that works against you

-You could get a job, but it might not be legal, or pay all that well.

-It's China, so anything is POSSIBLE.

Your English is terrible, you aren't a teacher, and you have no teaching experience. Do you expect to be treated well in China under those conditions?

A: If you received an online degree in most cases it should have been from a reputable college. If it came from a degree mill that definitely would be a problem. You should not worry about how they will contact this place. If the degree is considered authentic the people will know where to go to inquire. In my case I needed a copy of my diploma and one company in China recommended a Clearinghouse that was able to verify my degrees. They did not provide copies of the diploma, though. If the place where you received this degree is acceptable in your country then, it should be acceptable in China.Another point to consider you stated it was an MS degree. I have not aware of any programs that allow students to hop from a high school education to a Masters degree level education. With that said maybe you received a Bachelors degree. If that is the case submit that information.  I would not encourage you to lie. In that you definitely will not have any paper trail to back up your story. Some companies do not accept TEFL online especially if it came from International Open Academy. That place is a one room office. I would consider that a TEFL mill. It was such a waste of time.Do you have the ability to do searches online? -- slspringer22
