I simply said that there are plenty of schools that offer decent renumeration. A lot of your info was spot on, but I'm afraid your hang-up on $10/h max is off the mark.
I'm not going to get too involved in this conversation, but I will say this: Yes, it is possible to earn a good deal more than $10/h without a CELTA or a degree in Phnom Penh.
opposed to ACE, a language institute) will not accept applicants with only a CELTA.
2. Yes, it is possible to earn more without a degree and/or a CELTA, is it likely?
If people were to come here to make a decent living now, I'd advise them to have the following:
1. A degree and a CELTA or PGCE, plus at least 2 years' experience.
2. A degree in education, preferably Master's or a Master's in a specific subject.
I would almost guarantee applicants with the above finding a decent job in a few months.
I would definitely never advise the OP to come here if he expects a comfortable life from teaching on a CELTA alone. The chances of ACE, for example, selecting him over many candidates with more experience and with a degree are almost nil.

As you seem to know about this subject, what about someone who has passed examinations and obtained a qualification which is equivalent to a degree? I am referring to the internal examinations of the Royal institution of chartered surveyors in the United Kingdom which I passed before the RICS stopped holding their own internal exams. Now they rely solely on external degrees from a limited number of universities through which to gain RICS membership. I have several copies of letters from various universities in the UK confirming they have assessed the syllabus and regarded it as equivalent to their own degree.
