If you get average grades in the gaokao, are you barred from succeeding?

If you do well on the gaokao, you can get into a great university. Just like back home, having that on your resume can be really helpful. Of course, if you have money you can buy your way. For those that don't, the gaokao is their best chance at a good future.

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
