Returning graduates favor education jobs

Jobs in education are among the favorite choices of Chinese students returning from overseas study, according to a report released on Wednesday.

Even though finance-related jobs continue to attract returnees at a high rate, 31.24 percent, education has gained popularity. Currently, 11.72 percent of those who come back to China with a degree from another country seek work in the sector, according to the Chinese Blue Book on the Employment of Overseas Returnees.

The report, based on polls of hundreds of thousands of Chinese students who returned from overseas in 2013, was released by the Chinese Service Center for Scholarly Exchange, an organization under the Ministry of Education.
