Expensive Foreign Degrees Lose Edge in Competitive Chinese Job Market, Study Finds

(Beijing) — Nearly 70% of Chinese students who returned after studying abroad said they were "unsatisfied" with job opportunities at home because an overseas degree no longer guarantees them better pay than those who studied in China, a recent survey found.

Over two-thirds of those surveyed by the Center for China & Globalization, an independent think tank, said their annual salaries were comparable to their peers in similar positions who studied at home.
