And so we end up with a BA Anthropology at TESU, right??

Currently, there are pockets of areas in South East Asia that doesn't require a Bachelors. Mainly South East Asia and it should be a great starting point to get you the experience you need, once you have that Bachelors and the experience, move up to other more developed/sophisticated cities and countries instead of staying in the current areas you teach - namely China & Vietnam.

I highly recommend going for the BALS and going at it quickly, the first 90 credits at least. The main reason I say this is, all the BA's, have roughly 90 credits in total that are exactly similar, the only difference is the AOS (Area of Study), you can decide on your Area of Study when you're nearing that 90 credit mark.

Take the time to read my Beginners Guide as it has sample templates, Wiki as it has a whole lot of "basic info" and of course, read the forum, the links are in my signature. BTW K93, which cities have you been teaching within China and in Vietnam? Are you currently there now?
