Q: What's your dream job that you would like to do in China?

I'm pretty sure many people have aspirations other than English teaching, so I was wondering what you would like to do if money and bureaucracy wasn't an issue?

 

I think running an ecotourism company out here would be great, aimed at the foreign market.

I have always wanted to open a bikini waxing saloon. Its been my dream for years. but at home there is just a small market, not like China. Where else could I get a job that was that much fun and get paid? I think I'd even have free Fridays. Two for one Tuesdays.

I'd open a cute bakery/cafe type place, where the people who work there have to wear cute apron or something.

Jnusb416:

Did I mention I'd wear something cute too? Oh, and I could have a stage in there and sing or something. Come see the cute singing foreigner! Yeah, that'll work.

become  Emperor

the first thing I would do is kick all you Bloody foreigners out.

I would need a security team so I would have to keep Hugs and Jnusb  to run that

Probly need Crimo to run the public affairs portfolio 

and Ted for air quality.

Raf can do pest control and make sure we eradicate all Troll's

however for the rest you will need a good reason to stay.

 

TedDBayer:

If you don't mind, I'd like to head the womens census bureau, i'm sure they have been miscounted and I would be more than happy to make sure they were all counted correctly, Besises I already claimed the Emporer job last summer at the Forbidden City.

Seriously, I would love to own a farm, and be able to grow things in it.  I have seen many cane fields, and the way sugar cane is grown here is exactly using the same techniques of maybe the 1700's era.  Sugar cane for sugar mills is as thin as my "pinkie", maybe about 4 to 5 feet tall, and low in sugar content.  I know a farmer who gets only 6 metric tons of sugar cane per mu of area planted.  At my grandfather farm back home who normally get from 12 to 15 tons per mu.  And the modern techniques for its grow are not that complicated.   If I lay my hands on one, I can gross from 3 to 4 million Rmb per year, maybe 1/2 or better clear profit.

 

And not so serious, would  love to become a "matchmaker"  crying

TedDBayer:

Yes, things should grow well in this climate. ---- Set me up with a new girl friend. I want a better one. An old fashion girl that walks behind me as a show of respect. I think modern girls like in Laos will walk in front of you. but this is to look for land mines. I think long ago when they walked behind you, it had something to do with tigers.

It’s a good idea; I’m agreeing that with the American techniques you can easily boost the caña’s production here, although the matchmaker option is not bad.

happy are u Chinese?   why do you use the Chinese measurement of mu?

Report Abuse

HappyExPat:

Xunliang: No, I am not Chinese, I am a USA born and raised individual from Louisiana, south of Baton Rouge. And in China, a "mu" is a unit of area normally used in the country side. And 16.1 "mu" are one acre in USA. I learned that here by talking to farmers. It is like "jin" a unit of weigh used in many stores and markets, which is 1/2 of a kilo, or 1.1 pounds. Maybe I am the "odd" foreigner here, or half crazy, but I have no problem in learning and using your way of life. I am not here to impose my way into any of the locals. Now, be aware, not because I learn and use your ways, it will mean I will loose my personality. That one is set in concrete, But additional knowledge is always welcome, and will be used without reservation while in China.

I'd start a service industry who's sole purpose is to have  a group of people walk around and smack people on the back of the head anytime that person can't wait his/her turn, can't spend the effort to talk five steps to throw the trash in the garbage, can't take his/her kid to use a bathroom instead of the middle of the sidewalk, etc.

A job that would earn me millions of dollars instead of thousands of dollars...so opening up a million dollar company or possibly setting up a billion dollar company and being the CEO. I worked for a million dollar company before I wasn't a CEO but the CEO's had multiple homes and cars and were financially free.

A: "... through ..."?  Only "through" comes to mind is "Shenzhen agent can connect you with an employer, who's authorized to hire waigouren ... and can sponsor Z visa." It's not like every 10th person you meet in Shenzhen's hood can sponsor work visa ...  The only way to change from student to labourer visa is just a regular way by: 1. Finding an employer, who'll apply for an Invitation letter; 2. Exit China and apply for Z visa in your home country's Chinese embassy; 3. Enter China in 30-days after Z visa was stamped into your travelling instrument ...As I am aware, you won't be able to switch to Working permit by remaining in China....,so make ready for a return to your home .... -- icnif77
