Let me tell you
I’ve noticed in the last few days, I’ve been doling out a lot of advice about teaching in China and moving there in general. More than I usually dole out, anyway.
It seems everyone in their 20s is going to China these days instead of finding a proper job. No more of that, post-graduation-backpack-trip-across-Europe tradition.
I’m also finding that while I love being the go-to for advice on these matters, it also is really frustrating to repeeeeatedly explain China and its job market to people. Especially super anxious 25-year-olds.
(I could totally do it for pay, though. Maybe I should find a job as a China consultant. Hm.)
