Follow me and I will share some interesting stories and experiences on a regular basis to exchange educational experiences together.
Whether in the UK or Australia, the essence of international students staying for permanent residence is exchange. They use studying abroad as a lever to exchange with these countries and get the opportunity to stay. However, many Chinese students are too focused on their preferred schools, majors, and career prospects to notice the scarce opportunities at home. International students should choose fields that people do not want to work in their home country or that can provide them with stable employment. And many students pursue too much and always feel that they are smart, which is not welcomed by these countries. In the matter of permanent residence, these countries pay more attention to paying first and then enjoying the later benefits, or letting their second generation enjoy the follow-up benefits. Therefore, trying to go in the wrong direction in the choice ultimately leads to difficulty in staying.
Chinese students are generally too utilitarian, focusing on practicality and ignoring their own perception. Most students stay in school for too long and are out of the social track. They mistakenly believe that only business majors can make a lot of money, so a large percentage of students choose business or pan-business majors. It is true that business can get high salaries, and every year there are many fierce people who earn millions of annual salaries in the first year, but these opportunities are often concentrated in students from prestigious universities such as Oxbridge in the UK, Melbourne in Australia, Tsinghua University and Peking Jiaotong University and the University of Hong Kong in China. Business students at other schools often face competitive pressure for employment. Many students return home after completing business studies and still face unemployment, low salaries, or even the inability to find a job. Students should be aware that only a small percentage of people are looking for jobs, and the majority are targeted for services. Therefore, students should be more rational in their employment choices, understand their position in the job market, and have a business mindset that distinguishes them from others.
One of the Achilles' heels of Chinese students in countries such as the UK or Australia is that they have relatively small circles and fewer channels in any country. They each go it alone, rarely form their own team, build their own forces, and help each other. It's more about competition and guarding against each other. Most students are afraid of being cheated by others, and they are afraid that they will live better than those who are lower than themselves. As a result, they lack a sense of teamwork, only a sense of competition, and everyone is competing for resources for themselves. In this way, each class of international students is a novice and lacks experience, so they can only fight alone. Moreover, because Chinese students are one of the main groups in various countries, and there are a large number of them, the competition is fierce, and there is a game of interests between them. In this case, there are very few people who can stay, and everyone becomes the chosen remnant, and competition with each other will only make it more difficult for them to stay. This is a problem that many students may not be aware of, but it does exist and is affected by the environment as a whole. Chinese students should learn from students from other countries to form their sense of teamwork and cooperation.
To sum up, in addition to the above reasons, there is another important reason why it is difficult for Chinese students to stay in the UK or Australia, that is, they are more inclined to find a job than start a business. Many students are afraid of the risks brought by entrepreneurship, lack the ability and awareness in this area, and prefer to obtain stable employment. However, in fact, entrepreneurship is one of the biggest opportunities to stay. Starting a business not only allows yourself to stay, but also leads others to stay with you. The UK's science and technology innovation sector has great potential, and self-employed businesses can also provide unlimited opportunities for international students. However, many students don't have this entrepreneurial mindset and just want to find a boss to pay their salaries. Students with this kind of employee mindset can easily be eliminated. The chances of staying are relatively small. To sum up, these are a few of the main reasons why more than 90% of Chinese students find it difficult to stay in the UK or Australia. International students should choose the purpose and direction of studying abroad more rationally, and pay attention to teamwork and the cultivation of entrepreneurial consciousness in the process of studying abroad. Only in this way can you increase your chances of staying.
