Ben, I don't know exactly how you mean that. 'Generalizations' in the negative sense that they're so broad they don't mean anything? In the positive sense that, for the named points, they summarize a valid fact which of course always have notable exceptions? Other than the premise and conclusion (which hopefully I proved in the body of my original post), isn't a fact (for example) that 99% of the Thai ajarns who teach EFL will never have the fluency of a native speaker.

And to the person who referred to EFL farang teachers as 'half-wits' such people are in every country. Most of the posters on this board, and hundreds of silent lurkers on this board, are full-wits with some or lots of university education. Whether we shag birds or young men in our spare time has nothing to do with what salary we deserve for our daytime work. :twogirls:

So if the salaries of Thai citizens should have no impact on our salary determination, what factors should determine our salary?
