Expat, can't speak the language, no degree, no experience... even in baseball you only get three strikes. It's doubtful, given your profile, that you'd find it any easier to get a job back home.

Really the only productive thing you can do is to improve your work skills. Have you considered taking some kind of technical / professional course in order to acquire some marketable work skills? That's about the only thing that's going to help you.

So.. I think you have answered your question there. It's a tough lesson to learn but you must go back to where you came from and get a TEFL certificate if you want to teach english. China is very simple in that it only wants educated people.. If you want to be here you have to do this.

You will not get a working visa here if you have no qualifications. I know you are probably very capable but they have made thes rules and will not change them..

I gotta ask "How old are you and what qualifications do you have?". Some jobs in China do not require to know Chinese language.

Hi, teaching English in Chinese schools does not (normally) require you to have a knowledge of Chinese language.
During my years on Chinese construction sites, the Chinese engineers I worked with took it on as a 'good faith' challenge and used the opportunity to practice their English. It was good times. I did not learn very much Chinese!
However, to teach English in local schools, you do need a degree (Government requirement). If you have, there are local training companies that run TEFL / TESL or similar course . It will cost $$$ of course, but worth searching on line if you do not want to return to home country to get that qualification.
You MAY (emphasise on MAY) find a school that will give you a short-term trial without the required degree. How are your with teaching? Search around.
My Mum, bless her, was forever telling me: "If you don't ask, you won't know". Sound advice. :-)
