Technology offers fattest pay packet

Growing enthusiasm for the "Internet Plus" drive - a new business model combining the Internet with traditional industries - also is translating into higher paying jobs for those majoring in technology at universities.

According to a survey on the employment of 2014 college graduates by education research institute MyCOS, jobs in Internet development and application are the highest paying in China, with an average monthly salary of 4,582 yuan ($716).

In comparison, the average monthly salary of university graduates with bachelor's degrees, no matter what their majors are, was only 3,773 yuan in the first six months of employment.
