After New Year's Day, Li Jing began to run a job fair in Linyi to find a job. After a few months, she felt: "It's very broken. Hundreds of thousands of expenses for studying abroad have been spent, and now she can't even find a decent job. " Considering employment alone, she even doubted the correctness of choosing to study abroad.
To study in a university abroad, you must first pass the language barrier. Li Jing studied Korean in China for half a year, and then studied language in Korea for another year. Li Jing said: "It costs 1 year more than studying at a university in China, and the money is counted separately. After five and a half years, it will cost nearly 500,000, which is 10 times that of domestic universities. "
Li Jing took part in the national college entrance examination six years ago, and his results were not very satisfactory. Unable to attend a good university in China, her parents advised her to study abroad. She likes Korea very much, so she chose Korea Aviation University, majoring in economic management. Li Jing said, "At that time, studying abroad was better than studying at home. I didn't expect this to happen at all. "
As the only child in the family, Li Jing chose to go back to Linyi to look for a job after graduation, but after several months of searching, she didn't find anything satisfactory. "There are very few people who feel that they need us." She submitted several resumes online. Most employers who intend to hire her are in cities such as Qingdao and Yantai, but she refuses to stay with her parents.
Besides major, Li Jing's advantage lies in her mastery of Korean, which is invisible in Linyi. After more than four months of job hunting experience in Linyi, the most outstanding feeling for her is that "people who need us can't find us, and we can't find people who need us." She went to several job fairs, some of which were for economic management, and many people said that she could be hired, but her monthly salary was around 2,000 yuan. "The key is that there is not much room for improvement and nothing can be learned." She made a rough calculation. According to this salary standard, it will take her 12 years to earn back the cost of studying abroad without eating or drinking. "I feel that studying abroad is a loss."
However, she also said that the purpose of studying abroad is not only for employment, but also to broaden one's horizons and open one's mind. Foreign education is not cramming, leaving students with opportunities to explore. From this perspective, she feels that the time and money spent in these years are relatively worthwhile. "Because of this, I want to get a higher salary than domestic graduates, but it seems unrealistic at present. I hope that in the near future, the advantages of studying abroad will gradually emerge. "
Liu Fei, who came back from Australia, told reporters that he spent about 600,000 yuan studying abroad for four years. After returning to Linyi, he didn't find a satisfactory job, and changed from "returnees" to "kelp". After six months of unemployment, he chose to leave Linyi for Shanghai. "There are more opportunities there."
Liu Fei told reporters that his thoughts have changed a lot, and he has started to "bend and stretch". There are more and more people studying abroad now, and it is difficult to stand on the signboard of international students. Studying abroad does not mean a bright future, but studying abroad is only the beginning of the journey. No matter whether you are studying abroad or going to college in China, there is no golden belt, so you must work hard.
Professor Wang from the School of Communication of Linyi University analyzed this phenomenon, and thought that global political and economic integration provided more and more people with the conditions to study abroad. However, before studying abroad, we must make a good professional plan and choose a major that meets the needs of social development in order to serve the local economic development. Take Linyi as an example. At present, high-end talents such as logistics, English and graphic design are very scarce. If international students study these majors, it should be easier for them to find jobs.
The reporter learned from several study abroad institutions that Linyi citizens are more and more enthusiastic about sending their children abroad to study, and more and more people go to consult. The United States, Canada, Australia, France and other countries are very popular, and some people choose Asian countries such as South Korea, Japan and Singapore. The cost of studying in South Korea and Japan is relatively low, with an annual tuition fee of 30,000 to 40,000, plus living expenses and accommodation fees of 70,000 to 80,000 per year. The cost of studying in the United States, Britain and other countries is high, at least100000 yuan per year.
