Re: How many hours teaching per week is too much?

Where I work now, in a training centre in Guangzhou, I teach 25 hours a week and get paid 10,500/mth for it. The only problem is that I also am required to put in 15 office hours weekly also which sucks! I manage to lessen this by going shopping or having meals with students (counts as work hours to me!) and eating outside the office.

This job is from 13:00 to 21:00 on Mon/Tues/Thurs and Fri, and from 11am to 19:00 on Saturdays. I have Wed and Sun off which suits me quite nicely so I don't complain.

In the mornings, during the week, I work at a kindergarten for 13.5 hours a week which pays another 8100/mth with no tax payable...yay! On Wed afternoons I do some corporate teaching and it's RMB350/hour for 3 hours/week so I do ok down here. So it's 47.5 hours/week for RMB22,800/month. For that money, I'm quite happy to do the hours and earn the cash, kinda helps when one lives in a big place like this where living is expensive and the missus loooooves shopping!
