Q: Neuroticism high in China?

Just thinking of all the stress people have to endure from when they enter school right up until they retire (and likely after). I read somewhere that China has possibly the highest statistics of mental illness in the world, and I recall my teacher buddies telling me all the time how many of their kids exhibited psycho-esque traits.

It is not only more emotional problems that they are suffering from. A post-grad student told me he had ulcers - usually something more common amongst men at least 20 years older.

expectations are very high and the probability of achieving "millionaire status" is so very small  .....  takes some "down to earth" realization before the ulcers, from an individual to start with, and for China and Chinese it is the whole flipping family you gotta convince that the dream is just that..... a dream........  are you gonna get rich in China? .. probably not, but dreaming is good, as long as there is some reality to your outlook.

It's pretty high...an example I'll give you a boy met a girl and fell in love with her only to be rejected because he barely had enough money.....after that he went to the big city made mula and came back to his little village...the girl had already gotten married so he showed how much he had. She divorced the guy and married the guy who she wasn't interested in at first...

 

The guy that was divorced had some serious issues after that...it's just a story...calm down!

TedDBayer:

The guy that was divorced would make a good match for you.

A:I'll give my two cents on the age part. It's not as easy but can definitely be done. I was 21, fresh out of university and landed my first teaching job in china as a homeroom kindergarten teacher on a pretty standard 20,000/month salary. I'm 1 year in now and am still happy. Pretty much all international kindergarten jobs on here want 2 years experience, but many will still accept if you have experience in your home country. With that being said, being white and having a nice looking face is much more of a decision factor in china vs the west, if you can- use it to your advantage. Good luck finding something! -- brinsleym
