Yesterday I was chatting with a friend who does foreign trade, and he often has to run around abroad. His child is a junior this year, and his undergraduate school is quite good, so he should be admitted to graduate school in the second half of the year. My friend wants my child to try to get into a better 211 university, such as Nanjing Institute of Technology, China Southern Airlines or East China University of Technology, but the child thinks it is very difficult, saying that the competition in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai is particularly fierce, and the admission score is very high, and many 985 graduates also come to grab places, which can't compare to them.
I told him, what are you worried about, you have been doing foreign trade for 20 years, you have money and resources, if you can't pass the exam, you can go abroad for further study, how good it is to apply for a school with a QS ranking in the top 100.
As a result, he told me, you may not stay in a foreign country, you don't know, the best choice now is to stay in China, it is safe and convenient here, and it is too chaotic abroad. Their family will not consider sending their children to study abroad, and now the recognition of returning from studying abroad is not high, it is better to study a graduate school in China, and it is really not possible to work after graduating from undergraduate.
When he said that, I was a little confused. I've always thought that I should go out and see the world when I have the opportunity to be young, but isn't that wrong for me?
What about you, would you still consider sending your children to study abroad?
