Q: MBA or work ?

which one is better for my future career? studying MBA in English in China in a small city or working in a shitty trading company for 4000 RMB a month. that's what I got this year, I am confused both of these options are not my cup of tea but I must choose one of them.

This is a high wage for Uni graduates in China. So you should take the 4,000 rmb a month job in a small town and get some contacts. (You have a word for that in Chinese)

1) what do you like/enjoy?

2) what are you good at?

3) you are an adult

You can't ask random strangers about your career options without taking a look at yourself and making your own choices in life. That is what most of the foreigners in China have done: taken responsibility for our lives, mistakes and all.

 

saying " i want to be rich/have a good salary" without doing the work/research yourself is what i hear almost every day. 

i always respond: "doing what?"

I never get an answer.

you have to decide where you see yourself in the future and work towards it.

 

Alternatively, toss a coin: it would be as good a way as any for you to choose a career.

"working in a shitty trading company for 4000 RMB a month" 

 

Doesn't sound like you really think much of this option.

I wish Chinese parents could see posts like this.  This is what they put their children through.  By neglecting to give them guidance and their own voice, they flock to strangers to help them make life decisions.  They are unprepared to make independent decisions, do not know what they want, and unable to face life's problems.  If only they could see how their decision to coddle their babies lead to an adulthood of helplessness and frustration.  Hopefully this generation can see the error and make their children stand on their own feet.

go to a real university and get a real job

 

meaning: don't get an MBA in china and don't take that crappy job

go abroad and study.

if your parents can't afford, get a job and do the job next to the study.

 

alternative:

take the job and do part time studies for the MBA. Takes double time, but you have an income and in the end you have working experience and a MBA

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
