Chinese students not interested in scientific careers
Only one-third of Chinese high school students plan to pursue jobs in science after graduating from university, according to a report from the China Youth and Children Research Center. The survey noted Chinese youth place most stock in the suitability, income, stability and environment an occupation can offer, paying less attention to the job’s social prestige or contribution to society. Science-related jobs are less attractive for Chinese youth compared with more economically promising ones such as managerial positions in private or public enterprises.
