Or God forbid, you use your life experience to point you towards a fulfilling career after real world experience and independent study that guides you towards necessary masters degree so you can devote yourself entirely to helping people who would otherwise have negative life outcomes. What a fucking tragedy to have fun in China for a few years, find a genuine calling and spend the rest of your life helping learning disabled children instead of preparing tax returns for a muffler shop or helping shady chinese factories sell cancer causing poor quality dildos to the american perverted masses. You know, last time I was in the west I went to a graveyard and saw tons of tombstones with inscriptions like "raised quarterly sales 23% in Q1 2014", perhaps I should discount a half decade having a wild adventure far from home as a massive mistake.

Much like any other job, the white monkey kindergarten gig can become a fulfilling career path if you take the time to learn about learning disabilities, autism , child psych in general and can add value to rich parents who want the absolute best for their future globe trotting ultra educated Chinese. Dressing up like Santa sucks but identifying a handful of children who would otherwise slip through the cracks of the Chinese education system because of problems they were born with is worth the santa outfit. At the risk of sounding defensive, I know 6 children who will get proper diagnosis for their issues, be treated as perfectly valid humans and be given all the tools they need to be successful going forward. Beats the shit out of teaching phrasal verbs to bored housewives at 2:00 pm on a wednesday for half the pay and no health insurance.
