[quote=APAULT,281370]Guest: there are much the same jobs as in any other semi-industrialised country. Being only semi-industrialised, there are less people in bigger business and more in agriculture - there is still a strong peasant backbone to the economy. Business is often less advanced than fully industrialised countries, in terms of investment in technology, management practices (appalling) and efficiency. You will see many workers in shops and offices working long hours but often doing very little. As an example a friend recently moved from working in a Chinese owned company to a European owned one. She complained to me that she had to work all day and only got an hour for lunch (instead of 2.5 hours). She was also given responsibility right from the beginning and allowed to make her own decisions (which I am forbidden to do as a university teacher), quite opposite to the western approach). So I would suggest that there are many jobs you would find elsewhere but the industrial CULTURE is very different.[/quote]
