Overseas study no longer a guarantee of success

As a record number of graduates prepare to leave China's universities, many returnees are struggling to make a mark. Zou Shuo reports.

A degree from a university overseas was once regarded as the calling card for better employment opportunities. However, graduates returning to China are now realizing that studying abroad no longer guarantees a well-paid job.

Many are disappointed with the relatively low salaries and less competitive positions they are being offered as a result of the rising numbers of returnees and a surge in graduates from domestic institutions in recent years.
