It seems like American people and Chinese people have the same attitude toward work. Of course our number one goal of going to work is to earn money. Based on the descriptions above, I am going to assume that Subway is the major part of transportation in China. My question is What is the most popular job in China and how long is your typical work day?

There is not much of a difference between the American and Chinese students for this word. Most of the students on both sides see “work” as a job where you make money. Some see “work” as boring and difficult and some see it as being suitable or easy.

What do you currently do for work? What would be your ideal job?

做一名教师是我的理想工作，这个工作有固定的节假日，周末，稳定，可能每天讲一样的东西会乏味。

我梦想中的工作是成为一名考古研究者。我想要做到看一眼物品就知道它属于哪个朝代和它有什么故事。有谁的梦想工作是和我一样的呢？我喜欢自由的工作，不喜欢快节奏的工作。

我认为在中国教师这个职业比较受欢迎。无论什么工作一天要工作至少8个小时。我喜欢比较自由的工作，因为我喜欢自由自在的感觉。

最近中国国内最热的就是考公务员，还有中国学生和美国学生都写到了工作的时间问题，确实在工作上，时间是很重要的。另外就是工作分很多种，认为工作枯燥困难的人，或许是因为他不适合这个工作，或者因为他不喜欢而已，而真正喜欢自己工作并为之而努力的人，便会认为这份工作适合并且简单。所以我认为

所以我认为工作得适合自己才行。我想做一个汉语教师，我觉得这个工作可以不断地锻炼自己。 那你们对自己以后的工作会有什么要求呢？

Thank you for you responses. In the future I am looking to be a certified public accountant and own a small business. My question for you is what is your desired salary?

Thank you for your responses! Your dream jobs are very interesting. For those who said they want to be a teacher, my mom is a teacher so I know that it can be fun but it is also hard work sometimes, at least here in America. Personally, my dream job is to have any job in the fashion/textile industry.

谈到薪水的话，我相信每个人都会希望自己的薪水越高越好吧！但就现在来说，我理想中的工资大约每个月在四千左右吧！ 在工作方面，你更在乎的是薪水报酬还是自己的兴趣？

In United States, we tend to pay more attention to salary. It is important to chose a job that we are interested in, but if that job does not pay well it will be hard to survive. Things such as food and rent are much more expensive in the United States, unfortunately.
