[h1]American Graduates Finding Jobs in China[/h1]
By HANNAH SELIGSON

BEIJING - Shanghai and Beijing are becoming new lands of opportunity for recent American college graduates who face unemployment nearing double digits at home.

Even those with limited or no knowledge of Chinese are heeding the call. They are lured by China's surging economy, the lower cost of living and a chance to bypass some of the dues-paying that is common to first jobs in the United States.

"I've seen a surge of young people coming to work in China over the last few years," said Jack Perkowski, founder of Asimco Technologies, one of the largest automotive parts companies in China.

"When I came over to China in 1994, that was the first wave of Americans coming to China," he said. "These young people are part of this big second wave."

One of those in the latest wave is Joshua Arjuna Stephens, who graduated from Wesleyan University in 2007 with a bachelor's degree in American studies. Two years ago, he decided to take a temporary summer position in Shanghai with China Prep, an educational travel company.

"I didn't know anything about China," said Mr. Stephens, who worked on market research and program development. "People thought I was nuts to go not speaking the language, but I wanted to do something off the beaten track."

I used to work at a hotel. I actually applied in the hotel but the pay and the job SUCKED... I also was working at night one time and got robbed at gunpoint...Quit right after that... I was only like 17 and the money wasnt worth the work....

I like working for McKesson. We (at my location Landover, MD) ship pharmaceuticals to all of the hospitals and pharmacys in the DMV also some in DE, PA andWVA. I work as a Hospital Coordinator. Basically I'm like customer service for all of the pharmacy buyers at the hospitals & pharmacys... Its a billion$$$ company with a lot of room for advancement. I believe McKesson is like top 25 on the Forbes list
