Cause “muh greater good”
most of them leave once they graduate
but it's just the college being greedy
Yep corporate and a vanity project
I took two years of journalism and then one year of a seperate progrma that's more or less "additional skills and projects"
Instead I wound up being an unofficial TA
teaching the chinese students who're just swhowing up in that year no, you don't steal articles from the AP
you go and write your own
And spending hours making sure they don't say something retardedly wrong on live television during our news shows
Wow it’s almost like these people don’t much care being western just more care using western stuff
Amazing how that works
The leaf
Thing is a lot of them are nice kids
I don’t much care if their nice
but I suspect a lot of them had their parents fake their english literacy tests
Ya I can be nice when I mug ya
you need to pass one to come here
Still mugging ya
A lot of them wanted to learn and git gud
but they didn't have the baseline english to work off of
For their own self interest not cause they want to be Canadian
Well at least one wanted to gtfo china and was using college to help get a visa
dunno where he went after last year hope it works out for him
But here's my confused bit
I went to Ireland for a month. In Galway.
they're taking journalism/media classes in North America, then returning to China
*the fuck are those skills gonna help you with*
It be pretty weird for me to go to Northern Ireland Cause I prefer being more on the English side
Granted some of the skills are more general media/talking/editing skills
Then working around the Irish lol
but for real, why take north american journalism skills and learn all those ethics (we do get taught ethics, the industry just threw them away in the last 15 years)
It's probably just to have the name of the university on their resume
and then go back to fucking china
it costs so much money to come all the way ehre
only to go back
Maybe cause there like college students and don’t actually care to use those skills?
Doing a year abroad is pretty swag in China
They are just there to take up space
Well, those who come aren't exactly poor
But ya know college see big dollar signs so please me china people come in
