He'd end up doing hourly work (illegal) without a work permit. You pretty much need to sign a one-year contract to get a legal work permit. From what I've seen a decent hourly wage for someone with limited experience is in the 150-200 RMB range, but a lot of shady schools will only want to pay 100.

He'd be a lot better off saving up a few dollars and not bothering to work.
