We’re back for another episode of Two White Chicks in China!
This week we’re doing things a little differently and we’re answering 3 similar questions all about working and becoming an entrepreneur in China!
Mark asked us: Please address the entrepreneurial environment for Americans in Shenzhen. Is it possible to hit big and get rich or is that only for CCP people?
Daniel asked us: Is it possible to get work other than teaching in China?
Finally, Kathy also asked us: What are other possible job options in China other than teaching?
Oh by the way, here’s how to leave us a message on Wechat: Click on the ‘keyboard’ icon in the left bottom corner of Wechat so that the menu bar turns into a box to type. Now you can leave us a message!
I would like to add, and also apologise for a bit of a mix up. When you listen to the podcast you’ll realize I messed up a bit with the questions! Sorry guys!
