Higher Education and Career Prospects in China[electronic resource] /by Felicia F. Tian, Lin Chen. - 1st ed. 2020. - XVII, 169 p. 1 illus.online resource.

Introduction -- Rural-Urban Inequality in Chinese Higher Education -- WU, the Prestigious Path, and Initial Difference -- Advantage Begets Advantage -- Keep Searching, Keep Trying: Always Have the Hope -- Building My Résumé: Every Experience Counts -- Forging My Own path: Becoming the Person I Plan for Myself -- Conclusion.

This book explores how students in China vary in their understanding of careers upon arrival at college and how these initial differences develop into distinctive career preparation pathways. Drawing on survey data, students’ self-reflections, and semi-structured interviews over the four years, the book examines students’ engagement in curricular and extracurricular activities, as well as their interactions with peers, faculty, and staff, and how this affects their ability to navigate, develop, and cultivate career prospects and relevant skills. It also considers how colleges may aggravate social inequality rather than equalize among students with divergent family backgrounds through cumulative advantage framework, impacting on their conceptualization and construction of careers. Addressing a key generation in a key market, this text will interest students, scholars and practitioners in sociology, social work, education, and public policy, career counselling, student affairs, human resources, and education policy. .
