Q: What is it with young guys and the long fingernail?

Why do young have this long finger nail, usually one or two on the left hand, either or both the pinky or the thumb? I have actually only seen it on non University students, those who cut hair or do whatever it is they do. I don't like it so much because it looks very unhygenic.

It's leftover from when a person needed a way to show he didn't do manual labor. So it shows he doesn't have to work with his hands as much since he can grow it out. Now a days, it's just used to to help dig in all the hard to reach holes in his head.

snorting coke, or copying celebrities, picking his ears and nose, scratching himself in those hard to reach spots.

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
