Parents who pay for kids' studies expect it to buy obedience

A GIRL FROM CHENGDU, capital of Sichuan province, reportedly chose to be a professional masseuse after finishing her studies in Australia. Her parents, who felt ashamed of her choice, arranged a job in their friend's company in Australia and paid their daughter themselves. Southern Metropolis Daily commented on Sunday:

Parents and their children may have different expectations of the rewards of studying overseas. Parents often expect children to get high-paying jobs after studying overseas.

However, with China's development and the number of Chinese students studying overseas increasing, the value of studying abroad has decreased.
