国人艰辛出国留学 到底值不值

Even if the cost is high, most returnees believe their overseas experience is worthwhile and helpful for their career. The annual report reveals that 86 percent of returnees found a job within six months. However, their salary is not always satisfactory. Only 22.5 percent of returnees say their job offer meets their expectations, according to the Annual Report on the Development of Chinese Returnees.
尽管费用高昂，大部分海归仍认为自己的留学经历物有所值且有助于事业发展。2013年度《中国海归发展报告》称，86%的海归能在6个月内找到工作。然而，他们的薪水却并不尽如人意。该报告显示，只有22.5%的海归表示工作符合预期。

Hao Jian, chief consultant at Zhilian Recruiting, thinks returnees’ high expectations for their salary are reasonable, but it’s wise to focus more on the job prospects than the money. “The advantages returnees have should not be underestimated. Though they may need five years to earn back the study abroad costs, with the right career plan, they’ll have a tremendous future,” he says.
智联招聘首席人力资源顾问郝建表示，海归对于薪水的高期望是合理的，但明智之举是更加关注职业前景而不是金钱。他说：“不要低估海归们的优势。虽然他们也许要五年时间才能收回留学成本，但在正确的职业规划的指引下，他们可谓前途无量。”

His view is echoed in the 2013 Survey Report on Overseas Returnees’ Employability. The report, published by the Education International Cooperation Group (EIC Group), found that returnees’ salaries see a big increase in the long run. The average salary for a returnee with less than three years of work experience is 149,700 yuan a year. But returnees with more than seven years of experience can earn an average of 222,700 yuan a year. Employees with no overseas experience do not enjoy such rapid increases in their salary.
他的观点在启德教育集团发布的《2013海归就业力调查报告》中得到了验证。该报告指出，从长远来看，海归的薪水会有大幅度提升。工作经验少于三年的海归平均年薪在14.97万元，而具备7年以上工作经验的海归年薪则可以达到22.27万元。薪水增长之快，令没有留学经历的职员们望尘莫及。

“Good command of a foreign language, an international point of view, a large network and a comprehensive set of skills are the advantages of returnees,” says Zhang Yang, general manager of EIC’s overseas education department. “As long as they get used to the work environment and gain some experience, they’ll have a good opportunity for promotion.”
启德教育集团留学事业部总经理张杨（音译）表示：“外语能力强、有国际视野、人脉广、技能全面，这些都是海归的优势。只要他们适应工作环境并积累经验，他们就有很大的升职机会。”
