$10/hr. really wouldn't be bad in a place with a low cost of living, as long as it was full-time work. I bet you could save quite a bit on that income per year.

But who makes that? I certainly make more than that. Actually, I am not paid in USD, so it is a moot point anyway.

30000 Chinese Yuan equals
4892.70 US Dollar
Which is 58712.40 yearly before taxes. 5 working days off yearly. So 51 weeks full-time, which is 40*51=2040 hours. That's $28.78 hourly. Like fuck you make that.

There is much more to it than currency conversion, dude. You have obviously never traveled internationally.

Let's see...
Canada to America to India to the UK to France to Spain to Portugal to the Canary Islands. My dad would have brought me along to Denmark or Turkey with him but Home Office are pissed at me.

Then you should know better. Just straight currency conversion means nothing. Industry, cost of living, region, economic zone, and many other factors play a role.

All of which are much cheaper in China, making it even less likely that you would be paid $28.78 hourly.

What industry am I in? What specialized skills do I have? Where do I work? What is my title and position? Do I do private work too? Do I have any wealthy people hiring me? How does Yunnan compare to, say, Beijing? And I will not accept "Lynne B. Goldstein said so". I want YOUR answers, since you claim to be a master at international living and working.

No, I want you to analyze EVERYTHING I asked. It all matters when calculating a salary. Does my job provide me with my flat, as most companies in China do? Go ahead, tell what you know.

One wonders how a mod forgot what matt said to her late April.
I am broke. I am depressed and miserable. Please have mercy on my pathetic, miserable life.
And
I was denied a work visa.
