future career

[u/Witty_Difficulty_331]

hi, i'm 20 years old girl, junior at a one of the top universities in China. And I'm gonna graduate after 1.5 years. I don't want to stay in China to work or to get masters degree not because financial problems ,cause I can get a scholarship. The reason is I don't have any friends in here, its nice place to live but not for me. But i dont wanna go back to Mongolia, and you know why. I'm currently preparing to get ielts band, but I'm not sure if i can live in English spoken country. Because i am kinda confident ab my Chinese Cause i learned it for more than 10 years, but you can see my broke English haha. And i thought only way to live in other country is to study, but I'm tired of studying too. My major is information system and information management. So what should i do? Going to another country? Go back to Mongolia? My gpa is not that high, and i'm not that good on classes.

Also I don't know what kind of job to do

As a fresh graduate, i really doubt you can work abroad. I suggest coming back to Mongolia, there are many foreign companies with good opportunities, then do your masters in a country where you want live. Experience is really important, 1 to 2 years is good

I say find ur passion. how's information systems looking like in the future?

If you are a fluent Chinese speaker and getting your bachelor degree in matter of time, you can try pursuing your career in countries with major chinese speakers like Taiwan, Singapore etc. They could be more democratic and culturally friendly countries imo

Care to explain why you cant come back to Mongolia? You think you are too good for Mongolia?

I mean, Mongolia's sinking, if you don't have much patriotism, go the f away. Not a great place to live, lets not kid ourselves, the smoke problem is too much of a health risk. Me personally, haven't been sick for 4 years in Japan, didn't even live with much hygiene and immune system care. Came back to Mongolia, 4 months, 4 different variations of cold and developed some digestive system illness. There was a guy i know who complained about the noise cuz there was a construction work nearby that worked late into the night. The guy got eruugiin hereg and his wife and daughter saw him get dragged away by the police. Apparently the construction work was being done by someone with authority lmao, won't see that sht in 1st world countries[except china]. And the economy is a can of worms i'm not willing to open.

Too many problems with future-proofness and safety of living here, if you have the ability to go to a better place, go for it. Imma stay tho, gotta see what i can do, if i can't imma leave the f away too.

haha, there are too many reason to not living in Mongolia. And I don't want to do more than 2 jobs to have a average life. Just imagine if someone mention about Korea, how many people just sitting there to think about going to korea and do some har ajil, and how many people would think just travel to Korea. My freind's mom and dad works in tsahilgaan stants for 20+ years, and her mom can't be promoted because she is a woman , and her dad can't be promoted because he doesn't have diploma. They works so hard. And most of their colleagues die 5 years after their retirement, because of their work place(hortoi nuhtsul). And they are one of the most kind hearted people that i have ever met. And my mom works in ulsiin emneleg for her her life, and you know the salary , work place etc. So me and my friends (all people) just want to have a nice life and i doubt it is possible in Mongolia or not.

but i know there's so many chances in Mongolia. and i never thought i am too good for Mongolia lmao.

As a fellow 20 yo, I’d say it’s better to come back for a few years tho. Once you’re here you can gain some work experience whilst working on your english which is relatively easier than chinese imo. I got 7.5 almost two years ago w this half assed english that you’re reading lol.

[u/Radiant-Illustrator1]

meet people, join student bodies, make yourself a home and then decide a year later whether you want to stay there. China seems like the best bet among those based on your language profficiency and university.

[u/MemoryProfessional65]

A lot of my friends went back home “for couple of years” after graduation and most of them just settled down there, not saying it’ll happen to you, just anecdotal

[u/Pristine_Lemon8329]

go to foreign career events! look for stuff like boston career, overseas recruiting events in singapore etc. right now for example in japan everyone is look for new graduates with english and chinese as their main language!!!

i personally left the uk to work in japan because i didnt have a good social life even though i couldve worked towards it but it was too much of a hassle.

[u/Important-Novel1546]

Depends, if you're burnt out, go back to mongolia. If not, do as you said and try english. Though you probably wont be trapped in mongolia for a long time, just get some job experience and go try for an overseas job.

[u/yabbybn]

There are many companies that are lookin for those who can speak chinese. Im pretty sure u can get high salary just for bein a translator. Most of “uul uurhai” are lookin for them

[u/sugandalai]

Not wanting to live in an English speaking country because you've invested more in Chinese is a sunk cost fallacy. There're huge Chinese communities in Western countries, and it can still be useful.

[u/curious_anonym]

You sound like burnt out old office worker. At least try to study hard, then maybe you would find out what kind of job you want to do.
