Thanks for the podcast. I believe your questions were good enough but with all due respect, I didn't see your host providing any sound arguments most of the time. He was quite ambiguous about his competitors as well as his statement about most students ending up becoming his competitors sounded nonsense. I would like to add a few correction regarding students in China. Most of them end up being translators or at least work for some local projects as Chinese interpreters. The reason behind that is the scholarships that they provide are mostly related to their own language, like Chinese as second language. Although, there is no any data, but according to my own observation, some keep importing goods and move to the South where most of the factories are located or do some small business related to China (educational, Chinese courses and etc.) and some end up working as interpreters in projects where they also make comparatively higher income (or used to) to local salaries as well as few end up doing something related to their major. Thus, I utterly agree with you on your statement that most end up doing something absolutely not related to their major compared to those who studied at home or in different countries. They do also provide scholarships for different majors but most of the time, you have to do in Chinese (for bachelors) or in English (for masters). It needs to be noted that those scholarships are not only for our country, it's provided to most of the developing countries.
