Chinese has overtaken French, Spanish and German to become
one of the most popular foreign languages for jobseekers in the UK. Research
shows graduates in Chinese earn {#blank#}1{#/blank#}average
yearly salary of £31,000 or{#blank#}2{#/blank#}(much).
"I had a lot of friends on other courses {#blank#}3{#/blank#}didn't do much in first or second year.
But for Chinese majors, you have to spend hours and hours{#blank#}4{#/blank#}(write) characters," says Hannah
Jackson, who graduated in Chinese Studies from Sheffield University in 2012.
Hannah describes her course as "majorly intense". "Most
of my friends admitted to crying in the first week owing {#blank#}5{#/blank#}the course intensity (强度). I was almost told at one point that
I might want to reconsider and drop out."
"The degree is{#blank#}6{#/blank#}(absolute) worth it. The efforts{#blank#}7{#/blank#}(pay) off so far. I like that I could
live, work and operate with relative ease in China. Looking around at people
who have studied French or Spanish at university, I find there's no such chance{#blank#}8{#/blank#}(use) what they've learned in the
workplace," Hannah says.
Hannah went to look for a job in Shanghai, where she found
more employment{#blank#}9{#/blank#}(opportunity). After working as a
project manager for Intralink Group for four years, she set up{#blank#}10{#/blank#}(she) own company earning £5,000 a day.
She has now returned to the UK and works in business development for the Body
Shop.
