What Are YOUR Priorities Foreign Teacher?

As we saw here in recent arguments some people don't think salaries are that important (I do). So please take 5 minutes to rank these items from 1 to 12 with one being your number 1 priority:

* Housing

* Safety

* Location of Work Site

* Local Language

* Salary

* Scam-Free Environment

* Medical Insurance

* Local Night & Social Life

* Paid Vacations

* Stability of Work & Country

* Politics of Destination Country

* Pollution & Health Hazards

I think safety is the priority for me. Then is the salary. Some of my friends are teaching English in China, so I know this so well. For me I prefer teaching in Shanghai, Shanghai has ranked first in the "Amazing China - The Most Attractive Chinese Cities for ex-pats" for the past six years. And there are more opportunities and more options in there, and if I can get a good salary then I can live a high quality of life in Shanghai, which is really nice.
