New grads look abroad for first jobs

High pay and good experience attract students amid fierce competition

Fu Siyu will take a flight from Beijing to Singapore early on Monday morning. The 20-year-old, who majors in international economy and trade, will work in sales at a bookstore at Singapore Changi Airport for the next two years.

Fu is one of the 7.27 million university students who will graduate in China in June, almost equal to the population of Switzerland.
