Q: Teaching qualification and degrees
So a bachelor of education counts as a teaching qualification right?
And almost nobody asks for a master, so does a master even pay in China?

If you got a master's, than you have a good chance to get into the top talent pool as an A Class talent along with the new ID card starting. Once you got an A Class talent card you can wave that in any schools face and say: Hey, pay me for my talent! We got an email that anyone with a master's can most likely get a A Class talent ID card, especially in Education.

More info??
I got my M in applied linguistics through a top 100 English speaking university (the M.Ed isn't from a top 100... :( )

Master degree gets you a 400-500 rmb bump.

Agreed, it makes us wonder if top talent will come to China.
Where do I find information on this "A class talent card"?

Bump 
and pints! I want my jackets soon!
Please, award 2 pints for this bump! I am over the daily pints limit!
Let's break 'Redeem bank'!
Yes, and now... depends on who you're working for.
If you want to get into the better paying positions, eg the international co-op programs, a master's should be seen as minimum qualification... I've had a couple of jobs like that - pays starting around 13K, up to 18 (that's after tax for both). Some of the co-op programs start around 22K and go higher.
But, if you're at a crap uni, then it might only bump your pay by a few hundred.

Since China only wants native speaker and don't appreciate english teachers with an actual degree in education from other countries it doen't matter any more
Shining_brow:
Oh, so my examples were... what? Lies? Inaccurate? Delusions I had?
These are my PERSONAL EXPERIENCES. I know the jobs I've had, and the minimum requirements to get them (and also the jobs I didn't get). I also know the pays that were being offered.
If you wish to live in lala-land, and don't want to get the extra qualifications - then don't. But you won't be able to get into the top tier of teaching - here or anywhere else in the world!
500 rmb. That's less than $100. Now if you are someone who is young and wants something else on the CV, I can understand why you would come to China to work.
Otherwise: I would have to ask why are you working in China? A person in North America with a masters earns far more than they could in China. If you are retired then SAFEA just cut you out of the equation because of your age. If you are married to a Chinese national, why not take them out of China. I'm not trying to be ignorant; but I really wonder what the Government is thinking.

The OP can go where he/she wants to go. I hate people like you trying to direct somebody's life and you don't know them from Adam, get a grip man!
