She probably can hold an interesting conversation.

“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.

Yeah, well Americans are in the same boat thanks to H1B visas.

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.

This reminds me of Edward Tanner, the guy who wrote “Auntie Mame,” and many other hilarious books (aka Patrick Dennis). After he quit writing, he left his wife and children and went to Mexico to live a life of debauchery. After many years, he came back to the U.S. and got a job as a butler for a wealthy Florida family (the Kochs, I believe). He loved it and was apparently an excellent butler. He left the job only because he became ill. Epilogue: he went back to his wife and she nursed him until he died (pancreatic cancer).
