If you are reading this, you most likely have a highly sought-after marketable skill; the kind of skill that demands upper-middle class pay. The kind of skill that could bring you new job offers on a daily basis. Almost everyone in America possesses this skill. That skill is the ability to speak English. In many countries around the world people want to learn English. If you can speak English you will most likely make more money than others who don't.
The ability to speak English is pretty ho-hum in the U.S. but in China, it is an ability that nearly everyone seeks to acquire, but few have completely mastered. Over 400 million people in China are currently studying English. That means there are more people trying to learn English in this one little country than there are native English speakers in the world. Therefore, the need for teachers with native fluency is immense, and there aren't near enough candidates to fill all of the positions available.
