No degree in Guangzhou?

I'm afraid my knowledge is akin to yours on this front - as far as I know, you need a BA degree to get a Z-visa period. I'd be stunned if Guangzhou was an exception to this rule. May I ask where you heard this from? Was this from someone fairly reputable or a shady-looking company who seem very interested in hiring non-qualified teachers?

Well, in Guangzhou they give ridiculously low salary (lower than in Chengdu/Chongqing, which is a bit odd) for highly qualified people in my industry (M&A/strategy consulting), so it would make sense if their expectations are this low that people with no formal university education can be employed on Z visa...

 

Do your BA first, and then start to work. It's tempting to go ahead and earn money on short term, but it will backfire on the long run.

I have met people teaching locally without a bachelor's degree. A few of the people I have met have been Canadians who have a college degree (which is not equivalent to a university degree). Those folks generally are teaching at rather sketchy jobs and they make less money than other folks who have university degrees. I don't know if they have Z visas or not; they may be doing visa runs to Hong Kong on a regular basis.
