Undergraduate and graduate students are still the mainstream, with more girls and science and engineering students, and more middle-aged people seek breakthroughs.

Most of the people who send their children abroad are the middle class and the rich, but working families with an annual income of more than 654.38+10,000 yuan have also begun to consider this issue.

Selling cars and houses charges tuition fees, and children of civilians also study abroad.

After studying abroad, 80% people choose to develop in Beishangguang or coastal cities, and many people choose to start businesses abroad.

Today, the National College Entrance Examination (Weibo), which is called by everyone, is still advancing steadily with the annual frequency.
?
However, with the development of economy and society, in recent years, more and more people began to stay away from the college entrance examination and open up another road of life-studying abroad.
?
Why do they choose to study abroad? Find another way because of poor grades? Or because I hate cramming education at home, I left abroad in a rage? What are their experiences and lessons that we can learn from?
?
Starting today, we will launch a series of reports on studying abroad. While discussing the joys and sorrows of this group, I also hope that the information we have compiled will be helpful to people and families who are preparing to study abroad.
?
On July 2 1 day, an interview meeting for visiting world famous schools was held in Zhengzhou, attracting hundreds of parents. Such study abroad consultation meetings are frequently staged after the college entrance examination.
?
The data shows that the number of students studying abroad in China has increased by more than 24% for three consecutive years, and about 1 10,000 people study abroad in Henan every year.
?
The huge army of studying abroad also presents more new trends: studying abroad is no longer the patent of the rich, and more and more working-class people try their best to send their children abroad; The "golden collar class" people are still seeking breakthroughs in middle age, and the group of "studying abroad at an advanced age" is forming; In the past, studying abroad was for learning, but now more people start businesses abroad after studying abroad. ...

40-year-old executives give up everything at home.

Charging abroad, looking forward to the "second spring"
?
If you are near the age of "no doubt", as a company executive, are you willing to put aside your hard work for the rest of your life and go abroad to start over?
?
I believe most people's answer is: no! Too risky!
?
There is such a small group in the army of studying abroad in Zhengzhou: they are not short of money and social status. They only join the army of studying abroad to "recharge their studies" and start the "second spring" of life.
?
Mr. Tang is one of them.
?
Three years ago, he was the human resources director of a large group and an MBA of Xi Jiaotong University. Now, at the age of 40, he is studying in a university in Virginia and has brought his family to the United States.
?
"Most people can't understand him!" Song, the general manager of Kai Tak Education Zhengzhou Branch, who had gone through the formalities of going abroad for Mr. Tang, said that he felt a lot about it. "He said, has gone through the rest of my life, don't move now, never have a chance to move! The most important thing in life is experience, which may be right or wrong. If you make this decision, you won't regret it! "
?
Song said that there are more and more older international students like Mr. Tang, and the company can handle about 10 students every year, which was unimaginable in the past.

After graduating from junior high school, I embarked on the road of studying abroad.
?
Here is a story about a "little international student".
?
Liu Ming (pseudonym), who graduated from junior high school on 20 10, did not enter high school like his classmates.
?
Although the child is only 16 or 17 years old, regardless of the grain, his family resolutely sent him to the United States.
?
Liu Ming's father said, "I really don't want my children to take the college entrance examination in China. Too tired! Besides, our children's grades are not very good, even if they take the college entrance examination, they may not be admitted to key universities. Instead of wasting his youth like this, it is better to send him abroad early, broaden his horizons and receive a more advanced education. "
?
Liu Ming himself is very willing to go abroad. In his view, everything abroad is fresh. Instead of studying hard, it is better to stand on your own feet early and step into the society.
?
Now, he has successfully applied to enter American universities for more than a year.

Every year, about 10,000 people go abroad to study in Henan, and the overseas study groups are "olive-shaped".
?
In China, studying abroad has become an irresistible trend. So, how big is the population studying abroad in Henan?
?
According to Qu Ping, manager of Zhengzhou Branch of Beijing Aoji Education Consulting Co., Ltd., there are nearly 10,000 people studying abroad in Henan Province every year, and Zhengzhou accounts for a little more than half of the total number.
?
Song said that in the past few years, most people who went abroad were young people. In the past two years, the number of students studying abroad has been divided, and the overall situation is "olive-shaped".
?
"Take the business handled by our company as an example. Some of them are very young, and kindergarten has gone abroad. Some of them are older and go abroad for further study in their thirties and forties. The mainstream is undergraduates and graduate students. Every year, there are about 10 people at both ends of' Olive', and there are thousands of undergraduates and graduate students. "
?
In recent years, there has been a "double number", with more female students studying abroad and more studying science and engineering.
?
If there are foreign students around you, take a closer look. Are there more and more female students studying abroad?
?
Song said that in the past, every family had two or three children, and boys went abroad, thinking that it was a matter of glorifying their ancestors. Now with the growth of the post-80s and post-90s generation, most of them are only children, so men and women are the same and have equal opportunities to go abroad.
?
Chen Yonghua, chairman of Henan Tengda Study Abroad, said that in the past, it was thought that students with poor academic performance had no choice but to go abroad. Nowadays, many children with good grades go abroad, and science and engineering are becoming more and more popular, "because these majors are good immigrants (Weibo) and have good jobs".
?
change
?
Most of the students who studied abroad before were middle-class and rich. For example, there are more and more families whose income exceeds100000 yuan this year.
?
With the change of educational investment concept of Henan people, more and more working families send their children abroad.
?
"Five years ago, families with an annual income of more than 300,000, the middle class and the rich would consider letting their children go abroad. Now many families with an annual income of more than 654.38+10,000 yuan will consider this issue. " Song said that there is a parent who drives a taxi with an annual income of 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. She sold her car and house, and sold 800 thousand for her children to study in America.
?
At present, it is not mainstream for working families to study abroad. With the change of ideas, families with an annual income of more than 654.38 million yuan will send their children abroad more and more in the future.
?
In the past, "small language countries" were more popular, but now they are concentrated in the United States, Canada, Britain and Australia.
?
When it comes to studying abroad, many people are willing to choose countries with small languages such as Cuba and Belarus.
?
Chen Yonghua said that the wind has changed in the past two years, and the United States is still the preferred destination for international students, accounting for half of the overseas study market. The obvious increase in the number of students studying in the United States began in 2007 when the United States relaxed visa restrictions.
?
The destinations for studying abroad are mainly concentrated in the United States, Britain, Canada and Australia. The proportion of countries with small languages has declined instead of rising.
?
Li Zhe said that many people went to Belarus and Ukraine in the 1990s, but now almost no one goes.

After drinking "foreign ink"

Eight adult choices
?
Beishangguang or a coastal city
?
Do international students prefer to stay abroad or go back to their hometown after drinking "foreign ink"?
?
Qu Ping said that every year, a considerable number of people do not return to China and work or emigrate directly in large foreign companies.
?
However, it is not easy for foreign universities to complete their studies by combining leniency with severity. Moreover, there are problems in the employment of local students in some countries, so more and more China people choose to return to China. In addition, most people who go abroad now are only children, and many people will choose to return to China. "But because there are few development opportunities in Henan, or the environment is unacceptable, less than 20% people return to their hometown every year, and 80% will choose Beishangguang or coastal cities."
?
Qu Ping said, after all, those places have bigger employment platforms. Small and medium-sized cities do not communicate frequently and are relatively closed, which is not attractive to returnees. "Unless you have a family business or a special relationship in the local area, you will consider going home."

When duckweed

I was busy starting a business while studying abroad.
?
While many people are busy going out, Ann, a 26-year-old graduate student from South Korea, has embarked on the road of entrepreneurship and his business is booming.
?
?
He went to college in Dalian, and went to Korea as an exchange student for a year when he was a sophomore.
?
After graduating from college, Ann went to South Korea to study for a master's degree, and opened a shop online to sell household appliances to overseas students in China. "It was quite profitable at the time, with a net profit of 20,000 to 30,000 a month."
?
In the second year, An An partnered with a friend to open a physical store in the concentrated area of Seoul National University, and the business has been good.
?
Recently, he had another idea: to open a brand operation company in South Korea, to act as an agent for China's national brands and bring China's trendy original brands to South Korea.
?
Now there are more and more international students like An An who are no longer satisfied with going abroad with only diplomas. Grasping business opportunities and starting a business in the place of study has become a remarkable feature of a new generation of international students.
