“not clear which major she studied.”

Without that info, there is no way to determine whether a high paying job should have been hers.

$7,200 a month is good money for being a private teacher. Plus get to go with the wealthy family on all of their vacations, etc.

China’s top-down, centrally-controlled system is hyper-competitive. One of the commentators pointed out that a rich family in China will pay big $$$ to have what they feel are the best tutors for their kids. Just like in the USA, for a family worth $hundreds of millions or $billions, $5K-$10K per month isn’t a big deal.

During the mid 1970`s recession, I hired a physicist PhD. graduate from UC Berkeley desperate to find work to train as an electronics assembler because there were no jobs. I had 5 assemblers. She increased production by 300% by herself. The others couldn`t keep up with her... She was Chinese-American born in California. So I gave her a raise.

If she has a degree in gender studies or art history, regardless of the university, she is lucky to have a job as domestic help. Her next step is the unemployment line with those majors

How does one say BULLCRAP in Mandarin???

“She expected to find a job with a salary of 35,000 yuan (S$7,200) per month, her résumé showed.”

She is fishing for sympathy, and a job.
