[kudra]

you can look at members' occupations.

Of course you can't tell if a particular member is a

"会说中文的外国人"

Perhaps this could be a anonymous poll.

You might get more feedback that way.

more grist for Roddy's ad revenue marketing.

"Hui4 shuo1 zhong1wen2 de5 wai4guo2ren2” is grammatically correct? Cool. I love Chinese now. It makes sense.

Hmm, well, since I'm not in China, I don't have a job in China (that was the question, right?). If I can, I might try to get a part time job while I'm in Taiwan (once I get a better grip on the Chinese language), pending the restrictions, of course

我沒有什么的工作。(Even in Meiguo)

你好~

有人告诉我大多数会说中文的外国人是老师.

这是概括吗？

我长大以后，我有什么机会？

Cool. I love Chinese now.

Yes, me too!

谢谢~

你好！我想每一个人的出发点都不一样吧，在我看来将外语当成自己的主业也许还不如把它当成副课，通过它去了解更多的知识，丰富自身的全面发展。其实在中国有的工作不懂汉语的外国人也可以做，关键就在于，你的语言能力能给企业带来什么样的价值。这是很难一言断定的。总的来说，综合能力和专业知识也十分重要。

中国经济还处于过渡时期，只要你去争取，机会是一定会有的。

I don't know about other places but my girlfriend, who's from Beijing, told me that there are so many opportunities there for 会说中文的外国人. You can basically choose whatever you want to do and the pay is incredible.

Really?

I think that Chinese-speaking foreigners can find plenty of jobs in Beijing and other cities, but it hasn't been my experience that employers willing to pay above-average salaries are simply waiting for you to walk in the door.

The number of foreigners in China is growing daily--- and the number of Chinese-speaking foreigners is also growing--- this means that companies willing to work something out with a foreigner with passable Chinese and a Chinese staff with passable English can cover most of their bases without breaking the bank.

The really high-paying jobs for foreigners seem to be for the fortunate ones who came on expat packages, a rather surprising number of whom speak very little Chinese at all before they get here--- but have tons of experience in their respective home countries.

As for the original poster's question, many Chinese-speaking foreigners do all sorts of interesting jobs--- I met a guy once who was a building inspector for high-end housing construction sites.

I wonder, is there anyone out there doing any trilingual work? Does anyone speak English, Chinese and Japanese?

I am working in Japan, but I admit my Chinese is not good enough for work. I work completely in Japanese except for foreign customers. But now I am studying Chinese very hard because the company built a new office near Shanghai. So sometimes I have to use Chinese to make a phone call, but it is not very hard to just ask for "Mr. Ishibashi".
