As the saying goes: "When the prime of life is strong, the country is prosperous." Young people are the backbone of national development, and society has invested great attention and support in education. ”
China has a long history and is the custodian of cultural treasures, with a splendid civilization of 5,000 years. Different countries have different cultures, so there are many international students who absorb advanced cultures and promote cross-cultural exchanges.
Students who study abroad may be reluctant to stay away from their motherland, but they are confined to the dilemma of not being able to return, and the helplessness of international students is rarely known. However, in recent years, China's brain drain has become increasingly serious. There is a view that many international students do not return to their home country after graduation, but stay in a foreign country.
There is a prejudice against international students as the main reason for brain drain. However, from another perspective, it may not be that international students are unwilling to return to China, but that it is difficult to realize their desire to return to China.
Studying abroad involves a number of challenges, including determining your target university and major, excellent English scores, and accommodation costs. However, for the average family, the most anxious is still the cost of studying abroad.
Funding planning for studying abroad is a crucial topic, and different budgets will directly affect the choice of study destination. Studying abroad in some developed countries requires a higher budget, but there are also more opportunities.
Research data shows that the vast majority of international students study at their own expense, among which the most students choose to go to the United States, and the cost of studying in the United States is also the highest, at least about 500,000 yuan per year.
This is not a small amount for the average family, but it can only pay for one year's tuition and living expenses. Some international students mentioned that even the daily food expenses are quite expensive, and a simple meal of ice powder can cost 5 US dollars.
The high level of consumption in the United States is closely related to its high income, and for international students, daily expenses have become quite expensive.
In China, most college students often have their parents to provide for their expenses, but the level of consumption in the country is relatively low. Roughly calculated, students can enjoy a good diet by spending less than 50 yuan a day in China.
However, for international students who do not have a financial **, 2The cost of a bowl of rice at $5 is already equivalent to the cost of a domestic meal, which makes many people feel helpless.
Families invest a lot of money in providing for their children to study abroad, with high hopes that they will be able to achieve something in the future and contribute to the country.
Sometimes, thinking about problems from different angles may lead to new ways to solve problems and give young people more understanding.
However, the reality is often unsatisfactory, as the number of international students increases, the competition for jobs becomes more intense, and not every international student has excellent competitiveness. After spending a lot of money to study abroad, you can't find your dream job when you return to your home country, and you can't recover the cost of studying abroad, let alone contribute to society.
Therefore, many international students aim to earn back the cost of studying abroad. They will calculate, if they are lucky enough to find a job with a monthly income of more than 10,000 yuan after returning to China, but if they are unlucky, it may not be so.
In contrast, staying in the United States and easily finding a job with a monthly salary of $4,000 can also pay for itself faster when converted** into RMB.
As a result, more international students are choosing to make a living in their home countries and put their contributions to the country on hold for the time being. But this is not the fault of international students. Everyone's life is not easy, and we should not blame others for their choices, and we may not know the helplessness of many people.
Thinking from another perspective, tens of thousands of college students enter the society in China every year, but in recent years, the environment has led to the scarcity of jobs, and many domestic graduates are difficult to find their dream jobs.
It would not be beneficial for the latter to compete with domestic college students for employment opportunities if they also returned to China one after another. The current arrangement may be the most appropriate.
Author's Note: Brain drain has always been a topic of great concern, but not all of today's international students have the high gold content of the past. Some children from wealthy families study abroad just to add to their aura, and it is difficult to call them real talents.
High-end talents with real professional knowledge and skills can excel in their fields anywhere, and China also has many foreign students, so the brain drain can be regarded as canceling each other to a certain extent.
However, it is worth noting that we were born in the land of China, and we should cherish love and gratitude for the motherland, and we should be determined to win glory for the country. The development of the motherland is inseparable from the contribution of each and every one of us.
