Q: Could Cub finish a yearlong ESL contract?
I've encountered all sorts of weirdos in the ESL field - the kind that make responsible and qualified teachers cringe because they might all get lumped in the same category. I've heard of teachers who lost jobs because of being passed out drunk in the kids' playground, being so obese that they couldn't get in a taxi and would fall asleep in class and have kids draw on them... teachers who show up at bars screaming in the face of anyone who will listen and all other kinds of interesting characters. Yet a lot of these people would get hired by some dodgy language mill and be able to continue getting by in China. It seems almost anyone with the right passport and face can get hired by SOME school somewhere. No, I'm not saying that all or most teachers are like this but there are some bad apples who can continue teaching in China.
So this brings me to our buddy Cub. Could he hack it and finish a year teaching in China at some language mill somewhere? What do we think folks?

He has too many "qualities" that are seen as negatives in the ESL industry that would make him unemployable.
1) Old
2) Disabled
3) Psychotic bible basher
4) possible 
fiddler
The only places that would hire him are the places that don't keep teachers for a year. The kind of place that hires someone on a tourist visa then screws them on pay a day before the visa runs out. I don't think after a short conversation that anywhere that can employ someone for a year would do.
Yes yes my friend, a great job! Come here on tourist visa, we fix! No degree, no problem, we fix! No experience, we fix! Great great package, 2000 RMB per month, free spacious 3 square meter apartment, between 1-2 days off during the week, 7 days of unpaid holiday a year. Only 35 teaching hours per week, and 15 office hours! A very good job, my friend!
Trouble is he and the other voices at the keyboard are probably Chinese uni students
