Q: Can anyone provide confirmation on Beijing Metro Line 6 becoming an "Express"?

There is some word of it; even some stations are set up with having an extra platform (two, really) that is currently not in use. 

 

However, I can't find confirmation of this in Engish. As well, I hope they don't change their minds as they do with subway station names...

From the Chinese-language version of the China Daily.  Indeed, yes, parts of it will become express-stops only and it will be the smaller stations that are skipped during morning and evening rush hours.

 

"Almost parallel to Subway Line 1, Beijing Subway Line 6 is a main artery crossing Beijing City from east to west. With a total length of 52 kilometers (32 miles), Line 6 is longer than any other line under operation or construction in Beijing. The construction of Line 6 is divided into three phases and the first phase has been completed. It runs from Haidian Wuluju in the west to Caofang in the east. Other sections from Wuzi University to Dongxiaoying and from Pingguoyuan to Tiancu are still under construction. It is said that all construction will be finished in 2015.

As planned, Line 6 is expected to have express sections. For instance, it will drop small stations in rush hours in order to reach the downtown area directly. The speed will reach as much as 80 to 100 kilometers per hour (40 to 62 miles per hour). This mode of transportation will be in operation after the implementation of phaseⅡ. At present, the line stops at all 20 stations."

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
