Study in China key to future careers: American students – China Daily

From Xinhua News Agency (link):

To a growing number of US students in China, study in the ancient country is no longer just a cultural experience it has become an important part of their future professional careers.

Sam Gor, a 26-year-old student from Santa Clara, a county near San Francisco, said the purpose of his studies in Beijing was to help him find a good job when he goes back to the United States. “Culture matters,” he said. “But more importantly, to learn Chinese and get a better understanding of the country may help me professionally.”

As a new student at Beijing Language and Culture University (BLCU), Gor hopes to find a job in Santa Clara’s local government when he goes back home in one year. “I need to learn Chinese if I want the job, as we have a large Chinese community there.”
