Q: What do people do here besides teach?
It seems that most foreigners come here to teach English or study, what other jobs or projects are foreigners in China involved with?
11 years 41 weeks ago in Business & Jobs - China
I'm currently facilities manager for a foreign company here in Beijing.
Other jobs are diplomats, area managers, country managers, consultants, business owners, sales and whole lot more.
I'm only here for 2 months, working on my PhD in medical sciences, doing some experiments using patient material.
study...teach....do business.....or travel around as a backpacker or something
I came here to study traditional ink painting techniques and calligraphy.
Business owner and shareholder/partner in two others.
When asked, I say I am a criminal.
philbravery:
I thought you gave that up for the air quality inspector job
or was that Chinese girl inspector?
Mixture of jobs from international jewel thief, airline pilot, astronaut (though it's not as glamorous as it sounds, I was in charge of the onboard vending machines) and spy, though please, for your own safety, keep that to yourself. But then I came here and got a job teaching English to a bunch of snotty teenagers, and i've never looked back!
I work for a trading company...overseeing our production in China.
Now I work for polish company, that is owned by my friend.
What do I do exactly? All that have to be done 
...and I also learn Chinese as much as possible
Funny how I've never met any English teachers in China, of all the foreigners I've met.
Well, except my high school English teacher.
Your question is a little demeaning, don't you think?
