Despite the low pay, it seems that there's nothing that Chinese people admire more than their teachers. According to a recent survey by the Shanghai Association for Science and Technology, teaching ranked as the most widely admired profession, followed by scientists and doctors. About 1,500 adults from ages 18 to 69 were polled in a survey about the most desirable jobs for the next generation. Thanks perhaps to all the news of corruption crackdowns, government official ranked only fourth on the list and trailed the top three by a long shot. Not mentioned was who exactly these 1,500 adults were - Urban professionals? Country farmers? Migrant workers? We would think that the various income levels would have all their own ideas of what they want for their children. Source: CRI English Photo from China Daily
