Q: Women doing building and road construction?

As far as I can remember, China is one of the places (if not the only) where I saw women mix cement, move blocks or hammer asphalt, and I find it quite interesting. I've definitely never seen that back home. Does it happen in your country?

The big mines in Canada prefer to have women driving the big (200+Ton) trucks and running the heavy equipment.

They have better safety records and treat the very expensive equipment with more care, adhere to the rules better than the "macho" guys.

It's all about equal rights, nothing better than having female construction workers yelling ''hey baby'' at you and whistling.

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
