The ESL field in China is generally a dead-end.  It can be a stable, long-term dead-end but a dead-end nonetheless for sure. If someone came with a transferable skill set in a  previous field here in China, and if one can speak very fluent Chinese, one could find related jobs in the bigger cities such as Beijing and Shanghai.
