Basically, I don’t want to be an engineer in the US, but I have no choice but to go to college in the US due to my situation. What would I need to do to take steps toward working abroad? Preferably in China. I can imagine learning Chinese is a must, but what about citizenship and other things?
EDIT: Also, what other options you want to suggest?
I don’t know enough to say. Do what you’re passionate about and find a niche that works for your wants to emigrate.
Reddit is not great but /r/sino actually has a lot of Chinese people and expats who may be able to answer questions that are this major better than us.
Good luck.
